Mike Finke - 2007/09/09 12:07
Bill Milum had asked about Mike Finke, and I found a little bit on the web and thought I'd post it. I'm sorry I never met Mike Finke - from what I've read, he did some very important work in the world where engineering meets the law. Work he published is still being referenced by the engineering industry around the world. He is another terrific example of Shamrock's impact on the world, and I hope this information accurately honors him.
