I’ve read Don Nielson’s book and while the stories are great the book is a a rewrite of history.

SRI was and is a leading service provider to the military and our intelligence agencies. When classified research was banned from the Stanford in 1969 SRI got a new wave of classified Cold War contracts. The products and research were a great service to our country. However, leaving that part of the SRI story out is at best disingenuous but in reality a bold faced lie.

The board that approved this whitewash lacked integrity. I hope some day they have a board with a backbone who decides to tell the real story of SRI. It has yet to be written.

Shame on them.

steve

When Don spoke at our 1st ever customer event in 2005 (http://tinyurl.com/m7dwjp), he informed us and our clients at Qualcomm that in fact the technology behind their business (satellite tracking) was created at SRI. This was 1 of many great innovation stories he told that day.

Best,
Scott
