Machine shop program returning to Tech
I would have gotten sick at last night;s LSC meeting if I could have stopped laughing. A few months ago when Mr. Beckett, President of the LVTI Alumni Ass., first approached the LSC most of his audience did not take his wild claims seriously. Many on the committee were both entertained by his long-winded desperate pleas.
The MACHINE SHOP which had been closed down a couple of years ago and they were ready to disperse the remnants to other programs like an educational diaspora. To appease him and maybe book him for another comedy routine, they promised to look at his proposals before dismantling the MACHINE SHOP to free up much needed space for the more glitzy and glamorous, dare I say sexy technology-based programs.
To Dr. LATHAM'S and the MAYOR'S credit they listened to this quaint, crazy old man who they found out knew what he was talking about. A field trip was scheduled to a couple of the larger regional VoTech centers and suddenly everybody downloaded a new tune for their I-pods.
Now they were all excited last night about re-opening the MACHINE SHOP in 2012 with this NEW concept of REVERSE ENGINEERING. Much credit goes to RICK STARBARD wore working tirelessly in the background for brokering opportunities for Mr. Beckett to be heard. It is just for reasons like this his heavy VoTech background makes him an important component of the LSC.
