Interview: Art Fong who joined HP in 1946

from Professionally Speaking

One of the unexpected delights in the HP Labs event in Palo Alto today was the opportunity to meet many of the retired employees who were invited to attend. It was a great honor to talk with Art Fong. He was recruited to the company back in 1946 by Bill Hewlett over a home-cooked spaghetti dinner. He was one of the first 100 employees at what is now a 172,000 person company. He shared some stories of his years at HP and how inventions he created helped change history. His opinion of the research being done today? "Real cool!" To hear Art discuss unique moments in HP history, click on the podcast icon below.
