Must have been on vacation when this was posted, I only just found it! Five of the names listed are at least acquaintances, two I worked for. My prior comment about Lee Evans (under Chip Engineers, what is the difference intended?) may be more relevant here, since IC design was what I knew him for. I am sure there are other candidates (I can think of one or two), maybe this should go to 15?
