I believe he was a Bevan Scholarship student to Imperial College. He knew and worked with Burt Rutan, who was and is a visionary in space flight. I laughed at the sentence that said Armand was independent and opinionated. I am the only one of our generation who has lived in Turkey. Those brilliant blue eyes are so very Turkish - they've got a lot of fire in them. There's a joke in Turkey, "If you have 10 Turks, how many opinions do you have?" The answer: "19 - there's always some idiot who only has 1 opinion." Armand came from a very prestigious Istanbul high school - but it must have been tough, when he was not on home turf. An expat myself, I respect him for making it in London, and at Boeing. Christina DeCoursey Dear Fiona, Linda, Sandra, Magda, Diana and others:

His contribution to the development and refinement of the 757 can not be measured. His leadership resulted in benefits of safety, efficiency and maintainability for 757 operators and owners throughout the world.
