VOL 26 NO 5 The China Laker Hewlett-Packard Company President’s Message by Bob Campbell Sept 2021 You will notice our flag remains at half-mast through September 11. We have joined Veterans and other local entities in continuing to recognize the tragic lost lives of our military servicemen/women during the evacuation of Afghanistan and for those Americans left behind in our hasty withdrawal. Please join us and carry one of our 10 flags in the local 1,000 Flags March, September 11. Call the office at (760) 677- 2866 for details. We are having our annual membership meeting on Monday, September 13. It will be held at the Museum and hope that you can attend. There will be a short business meeting to accomplish some “must do’s” which require member approval including changes to our By Laws and election of Board Direc- tors. Pizza and liquid refreshments will be available with hopes you can attend and socialize, ask questions, gain insight on our building plans and the year ahead. Plus, you can see the eagle scout’s sun dial that has been added to our outside exhibit area. Get here early, while the sun is still up, so you can tell the time! We had many positive reports regarding the Hack Wilson letter shared in the last newsletter, and I thought it would be good to follow-up with a bit of Dr. McLean’s wisdom regarding management and the creative scientist. His talk was delivered in 1959 and you catch a glimpse of how his management tenets influenced the China Lake innovative culture. We had to postpone the lecture on SHRIKE by Charlie May last month. The good news is that Charlie and Mark Pahuta were able to get together and create an excellent one-hour video of Charlie’s lecture. We plan to arrange opportuni- ties for viewing here at the Museum for those interested. Please contact the of- fice and we will arrange a time for viewing the video, along with the sale of his book describing the SHRIKE history. Tuesday, September 14, we are pleased to host a presentation and book signing event by Dr. Eric Haseltine, and Dr. Chris Gilbert of their new book “Riding the Monster: Five ways to innovate inside bureaucracies”. Eric grew up in China Lake, had a fascinating leadership career and is a solid contributor to the Muse- um and is clearly a fan of the China Lake history and its culture. Please vote in the CA election, and then drop by to hear Eric and Chris talk about their new book. 130 E.
