Stonecipher ... VP of Commercial Engine Sales. He left GE and went to Sundstrand, then to McDonnell Douglas and then to Boeing. He was somewhat more of a bean-counter than an engineer.
I had some minor contact with Harry - enough to learn that he had little knowledge of aviation culture and slang/euphemisms. But despite this he was quite a salesman (and not just selling airplanes or engines ).
