We recently received this note from Dell Jones:

Hello,I wanted to pass on my fathers information for the alumni of Harza Engineering.  As a 10 year old boy I was able to live in Kandahar Afghanistan while my father worked for Harza.

I am following to some degree the his work in electrification as a professional in the solar industry and hold in high regard his work for Harza in 1967 to 1969.
