  • Jim Cates DEDICATION - 2014
    Everyone has a story by Jim Cates DEDICATION - 2014 - My life has been blessed by so many people that I would like to thank for being so important to me. It would be impossible to acknowledge every- one who has touched me, so I will mention a few … More than 30 years with a woman who blessed me with two wonder- ful kids and two fantastic grandkids. Also a woman who had faith that I could succeed far beyond my wildest dreams. Accomplishments would be credited to this special person. My thanks to Jane for all of the good times. Jim and Dorothy Cates gave me a good foundation. They taught me the importance of financial resposibility, a strong work ethic, and the differ- ence between right and wrong. There were many times I wouldn’t have re- ceived a passing grade, but I always had a strong foundation to return to. Jane and Oscar Benson, Jane’s parents, were two people who were as close to being Ward and June Cleaver as anyone I ever knew. I learned the true meaning of family from the Bensons. Matt, Meri Jane, Ryan Matthew, and Jesse James Cates. Two more genera- tions of Cateses, each of whom I’m so proud ... The kids have some of their mother’s and grandparents’ qualities, which means they’ll be fine. Matt has the political gene and is entering a new phase in his life, just completing his master’s degree in history. Meri Jane is the family historian, balancing time being a working wife, mother, and family genealogist.

    iianrilpalpr) Manchester — A City ol Village Charm HpralJi 30 Cents Saturday, Jan. 30,1988 P&W LEADS ENGINE WAR Air Force splits order, 55% to 45% By Norman Black The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Pratt & Whitney Division of United Tech­ nologies Corp. on Friday won the largest share of the Air Force’s fiscal 1989 jet engine business, beating out General Electric Co. for the second straight year. The Air Force, in a brief announcement, said Pratt k Whitney would be asked tobuild 55 percent of the jetengines required for its fighters during fiscal 1989 while GE would produce the remaining 45 percent. All together, the service said it planned to acquire 289 jet engines during the fiscal year starting next Oct. 1. The 55-45 split would give Pratt ft Whitney 159 of those engines and GE 130. The percentage split for each company was decided on the basis of bids submitted last year. The Air Forcedeclinedtooffera dollar estimate of the value of eachdeal, noting final contracts must stillbe negotiated. The two contracts together, however, will easily exceed $500 million. The Air Force launched what has been called the "great engine war” in 1983 when it decided to stage annual competitions for the right to supply engines for its two front-line fighters, the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Until that point, Pratt k Whit­ ney held a monopoly on providing the high-performance engines. During the first round of the UPHILL BATTLE — Eight-year-old Edward Leonard, left, of 1 1 5 Reginald Plnto/ManotiwMr Hanid competition, GE shattered Pratt Hemlock St., walks uphill with Eric Demonte, 10 , of 1 1 7 Hemlock St., Tom to page 2 during a Friday afternoon of sledding at Center Springs Park.
