Italy Trip 6
On day 4, we rented an Audi Q3 and drove to Avellino, where I lived and
worked in 1968/69. I was an electronics technician
for Chicago-based Automatic Electric Company.
Our job was the installation and maintenance
of
Autovon, a worldwide military telephone network
designed to withstand a nuclear attack. My
first assignment was at the Autovon site atop Mount Vergine near
Avellino, 35 miles
from Naples, Italy. It was fun to revisit these places again. |
