Re: Nice article on RIC...
Thanks for posting, Brian. Odd timing, as I will be in Santa Ana again next week, just a short walk away during my periodic (each quarter) Southern California business trip.
For exercise, I have walked the back way to the factory from one of the John Wayne airport hotels but my schedule means I always get there when the work day is over, then I'm off the next morning for various parts of Orange County. It is onto to San Diego after that.
Someday I might be able to arrange things to be able to visit during company hours.
