SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
![]() Guess who visited last month? You guessed it - Bryan Rozewski. Bryan is now a family man and a fire-fighter in Portland. He says he keeps his eye on Ultra Tec - on the Web. Bryan looks about the same - maybe a little older. Ultra Tec, however, has changed much over the years, and Bryan enjoyed the "tour" of the current facility. Here's a picture of him (on the right) with Robert Mendoza, who started the year that Bryan left (similarly while still in High School). Bryan was impressed with the new CNC equipment all right -- but the part that he enjoyed the most - that both he and Robert enjoyed the most - was looking over the various fixtures that hadn't changed (several of them, Bryan had built - and Robert was almost the first to use). If you visited Ultra Tec at the Tucson show in '84 or '85 you may remember Bryan - he was the enthusiastic "kid" at the Ultra Tec booth.

WHAT DOES ED BANCROFT SAY ABOUT HIS ULTRA TEC FACETING MACHINE? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
![]() Yes, our Ultra Tec faceter Ed Bancroft (pictured here) is the Ed Bancroft. Ed has been an Ultra Tec faceter for 30 years. We consider praise from him to be high praise indeed, and he is very complimentary. He says he loves his Ultra Tec faceting equipment -- his words were "Fantastic!!!" (and the 3 exclamation points are his). He wrote "your machine is truly the Rolls Royce of faceting machines". The Bancrofts have had a long association with the Geology Department of the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Ed decided to donate the Bancroft Mineral Collection to UCSB and the result is: |

INTRODUCING? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
![]() Well, he was traveling - moving West - and now he has set up his "Uniquely K" Shop in beautiful Sedona, Arizona. Stephen is a lifetime faceter and you've seen his name among the AGTA award winners many times - and we've written about him in the SomeTimes. So, welcome back to Ultra Tec, Stephen, and welcome to the Southwest.
