things to the government. It was back in 1999 I didn't realizes the Drones where the same thing until just now. we didn't call them drones. We called them UAVs unmanned aerial vehicles. I was on the Graphics team that put together the encyclopedia of UAVs. I had no idea this is what they would be used for. I was just a graphics person putting the book together. I never got to see one in person.

I was only at the company for about year. I left the company for more money at another company. Jobs were easy to come by in the 90's. So I had forgotten all about the UAVs
