After years of building my career, they fired me at 53 and thought I would simply walk away. What they didn't realize was how much their company depended on the $750 million patent I controlled.

If the company has DOD audits, they have government contracts. By targeting people older than 50, that's a HUGE problem for the company.

It's a pity that the transcript has many missing words and sentences making it impossible to read instead of listening which is what I often like to do.

I retired in 2002 at 64. My company gave me an option. Either I retire early or they will have to let one of my people go. So I retired.
