Al Chase

Who?

You must be talking about Al Chace.

😉

:coffee:

that is correct

Yes of course, damm fat fingers

I might have to check that out

Have seen that mag around here for about about 5 yrs.

I do go to their forum every once in awhile to see if James Fleming is ever going to post on his own board, though 😉

I might have to check that out

Didn't Mr. Fleming step down from that position? I thought I read that on this board.....or maybe it was a dream.

that is correct

I've always wondered how to correctly pronounce that?

Chase?
Chack?

Always enjoyed his posts.

I might have to check that out

I didn't see that here, but I've been away for a few blocks of time so I must have missed it. I see on the website the Mr. Fleming is copnsulting for them as needed. I wish good luck to Mr. Fleming with his private work.

Have to scout out Al Chace's article at lunch.

Concerning the article-

I agree with the concept that today's 18-25 year olds look at tech and consider it old, if it's not BRAND NEW. So from the "drawing students to the course/profession" aspect, that's good. The otherside is what happens when little Johnny/Johnnette gets a job (they're the 1/25 that finds a job in the profession) and the old reliable (and paid for) 10 yo total station/robot comes out of the box? Will their self-esteem be damaged and they'll walk?

I guess one question is- who's hiring and what gear are they running?

I'll second that emotion!! Congrats, Al...see you later this month!

Al Chace> Great Job

Keep up the good work, GREAT article!!

In the captions to the photos His name is spelled both "Chase" & "Chace".

Man, the copy editing has gone downhill there in the last month or so 😉

Not as bad as the local newspaper, IMO, or all the news media.

Thanks so much for the congrats. We are all doing what we can here.

To answer the question, it is spelled Chace but pronounced just like Chase. My family tree shows the changes occuring in the 1850s/1860's. A lot of "Chases" left Delaware County, NY just after the Anti-Rent Wars (the rent is too DAMN high!)so I suspect either that or attempted to avoid the draft during the War between the States might be the cause of the funny spelling.
