Visiting with my mother tonight, and she said she read an obituary of a pioneering television engineer who did work on developing early color kinescopes, as well as developing imaging for the moon missions.

I thought she had found something about Stan Lebar, but no, this is a different fellow who worked here at RCA Lancaster: Richard Faulkner passed away on the 11th, aged 88. His obit may be found below:

It sounds like he led a fascinating life. It's a pity that he lived no more than five minutes from me and I never met him, though. I'd love to track down any of those old RCA Lancaster guys and chat with them.

One of the sad things is, he seems like he would have been a very friendly type, more than happy to sit down and chat. Tough to go about locating these pioneers, though.
