C-17 Days

Bob and I worked together closely on the C-17 Transport Aircraft for the US. Air Force. He was an extremely valuable member of the Supplier Management team, he held our suppliers accountable, negotiated excellent terms and conditions, and was acknowledged as a Master negotiator of the value of huge contracts, into the Billions of $. He had unquestioned integrity, and held himself and our team to the same high standards. I remember when we were locked in a particularly difficult negotiation with our largest supplier. Bob was the lead negotiator. I walked to the elevator with Bob's Manager. I expressed my doubts about hitting our negotiation goals. He thought for a minute and said "We will get there for sure." I said "Why do you say that?" He said " because Bob will drive them nuts until they surrender" ! We had a good laugh and went home... And you know what, He did! Bob was a smart, relentless, dedicated, and valuable member of my team for over 10 years, and a good friend. He will be missed. Rest In Peace, Mr. Harrison.
