The Labs can take credit for discerning his high potential and supporting him in completing his PhD, however I’d give Malone full credit for becoming a billionaire!

I spent close to 20 years at the Holmdel Bell Labs, down the road from Holmdel HS, and almost the same at other nearby Labs facilities.

Those earlier years in Holmdel were great!

We used to be respected for our brains and trusted to identify and pursue the sciences in ways that could advance the interests of the company and its communications mission. It was quasi academic and we were at the forefront of technologies and members of standards and professional/governmental committees. Great fundamental advancements and inventions came from those hallowed labs and halls.

Then when the shift to so called faster return investments as measured by bean counting grew in prominence, benefiting universities and various Princeton area research organizations, it was still a great place to work but big new discoveries were fewer and farther between imo.

While I didn’t make billionaire status I enjoyed the long career and especially all the great people, second to none in my opinion!
