I have since lost track of him. He was a great human being as well as a wonderful person to work for (he was my boss's boss's boss) while at GE. We loved living in Louisville because of the people we met.Rod Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241182790476070316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696817881234121652.post-87379733251698755852013-11-18T03:30:55.183-07:002013-11-18T03:30:55.183-07:00I knew Jim Trafton through the Church Of the Epiph...I knew Jim Trafton through the Church Of the Epiphany in Louisville, and have been in his home a number of times. I recall him telling the story of hiring about half the class of CAD enabled graduates. Yesterday my wife recalled Jim saying "Enjoy your children, because they will be gone in a flash". At the time I thought that it was so ironic since I could not see beyond next Friday !! I recall GE sent Jim to Iran and Jim had a huge respect for his Iranian friends. Times have changed. Is JIm alive?<br /><br />Paul Schultz age 71Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696817881234121652.post-41083823410153185562011-10-17T19:21:38.515-06:002011-10-17T19:21:38.515-06:00You're welcome Lisa.
