Dear David,

In taking the time out to reflect on your skills and accomplishments with MED Associates and then Boatracs, several assets and achievements come to mind. Any future employer or business partner should easily realize your ability to contribute. As your immediate supervisor and close business associate for several years, I’m uniquely qualified to comment. I hope my recitation of our story will aid your future endeavors.

You are a man of uncompromising character. Your word is always true and I personally attest to your honesty in face of potential personal loss. That honesty extends to the intellectual sphere. I never feared that you would over embellish facts or promise results that were unachievable. The World’s standards of truth and forthrightness lack the degrees of the absolute that are second nature to you. There was not a single customer or company associate who ever doubted your word.

You have a keen intellect and are able to examine problems, gather facts and zero in on a solution without becoming distracted by related but irrelevant issues. Furthermore, you are able to mentally synthesize conceptual designs with very little input and then create practical solutions to reflect those designs. On many occasions you developed living software code that accomplished a desired conceptual objective. Programming tools like the MED Utils, Q-Scripting and the data transfer protocols are a few examples of solutions that you developed from concept to execution.

You have an artist’s flair in creating software that is attractive and functional. Your designs and artwork added a desirable flair to our applications. As a result they were not only easy but also entertaining to use. The menu layout and design system is still in use and your icon artwork is frequently incorporated into selected applications. You are one of the few people I’ve ever worked with whose work reflects both extremes of creative thought – the artistic and the intellectual.

As part of the design and programming team you were timely in delivering your work and accurate in your predictions of how long it would take you to get the work done. You were always open with your coworkers, willing to share knowledge and eager to teach others what you knew.

It was a difficult decision when our sales declined significantly and I had to select staff for a force reduction. In looking back on the early years of MED Associates, when we were in the early design and production stages of our business, your arrival was one of supreme good fortune for the company. Since then our business has changed especially as the economy and business cycle have declined forcing a permanent change in our product and service mix

Most sincerely yours,

Charles J Drobny Jr
Chief Operating Officer
