Ah, we didn't have anything as elegant as a courtyard or a duck pond at my GTE facility. I was completely unaware of a GTE facility on Sylvan Rd. The only other GTE facility that I ever knew of in Waltham was the Labs. >>The facility may have been closed in 1994, and reopened later--I don't >>know, I didn't work there until 1998.

Something may have been demolished for Home Depot, and it >>may even have belonged to GTE, but this facility wasn't it. The facility that I am referring to -was- located on First Ave. -not- Sylvan Rd. The site was sold to Home Depot and my division moved to Needham. The division that I worked for was sold to General Dynamics just before the GTE/Bell Atlantic merger in 2000. We are talking about two different facilities. -Debra -- .------------------------------------------------------------------. |Debra Douglass [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.catrio.org| `------------------------------------------------------------------' _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
