CABL Forum - Re:Hey hippy

I worked in-house for various MSO's. Long Beach (Times-Mirror), Lakewood (Tribune) from day 1, Cypress (Copley-Colony) from day 1, Jack Berry Cablevision (Playa del Rey and LAX areas), was Tech. Op's Spvsr. for Paragon in L.A. county and also knew tons of folks from Can-Am, Cablecrafters, Schanks (if that's how you spell it) and many other contractors. After that went to work for C-Cor, S-A and Philips.
