It was a privilege to work at the company Si Ramo built. I saw him talk several times in small groups and he was always inspirational and thought provoking. The last time I saw Dr. Ramo was when NGC honored him for his 100th birthday. The Presentation Center at Space Park was packed. Dr. Ramo ended up talking to us for over 30 minutes taking great pleasure in pointing out to our NGAS president that in the early days many of the TRW products and testing set the framework for unmanned aircraft systems. Rest in peace to a truly inspriational leader who left our world a better and safer place.
