Dear rp-ml:
My current employer is laying off our entire manufacturing engineering dept. (three people)
due to a lengthy business downturn. I would like to stay in the Wichita, KS or Kansas City area.
A copy of my resume is in text format below if anybody can help. I do have experience working with a
SLA-5000 system and ThermoJet machines. If anybody knows anyone hiring for positions
like these please let me know so I can also inform my coworkers.
Thanks,
Glenn Whiteside
