A business colleague commented
"Jim spearheaded key approaches to Critical Defects, Statistical Process Control and MIL-STD-1916 that have been adopted
by our customers across small, medium and large Caliber ammunition. It would hard to find a Quality Section in an ammunition
solicitation that does not contain clauses written, or significantly influenced by Jim."
