thanks for post this about my Dad soo cool 🙂
[Added from facebook contact] Hey there I found my Dad on your website, Keith H. Clark with the end effector. It is pretty cool to google your Dad and find something usually i find only patents which is awesome to but it was nice to the pic and what you wrote. He is 83 now and doing pretty well he has early Alzheimers which make him repeat himself some but if you ask to describe things he help design from his years a NASA he doesn’t miss a beat 🙂 He actually started work with the Army Missile Command in October of 1951 before Nasa and he retired in June of 1989. He work on the guidance systems for the Saturn V and tons more. I saw a interview with Frank Borman of Apollo 8 on When We Left Earth and he talked about the 400,000 engineers that worked to get them to the moon, my Daddy was one of them. He put in tons of hours sometimes 6 days a week and drove from Decatur to Huntsville (Huntspatch) back when there was nothing but farm road his said he made 16 turns just to get there before they built the highway!!! He said he alway felt sorry for people who hated their job because he said he hated to leave at quitting time and could not wait to get back the next morning 🙂 Anyways thanks for posting sorry if i am longwinded about my Daddy but i am and always will be sooo proud of him 🙂 Robin Clark Wright
