ABSTRACT
At the Lilly Software Associates sales meeting in August of 1997, I announced to the company that Dave Layne was no longer working on VISUAL Manufacturing. I could not have made a more dramatic announcement to the group than if I had declared a mile-wide meteor was to strike the East Coast in an hour’s time. Dave’s contribution to VISUAL Manufacturing goes without saying and is recognized within the organization as well as widely among
our customers. The momentary silence was deafening. And then the protests erupted.
