LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Gentlemen,

I would like to offer my recommendation of Ron Johnston.

I have known Ron for the last 2 years and have worked closely with him

during this time. During this time Ron has worked as a Designer/Drafter

developing electrical schematics, cable routing, electrical raceway design,

field support and many other related functions. I am a Principle

Electrical Engineer at Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation with one of

my responsibilities being review and approval of many electrical documents,

including those mention above. I can therefore attest firsthand to the

superb workmanship of Ron.

Ron is a conscientious honest worker who gets the job done both quickly and

accurately. He is well respected among his peers and his advice is readily

accepted and sought after. Ron is an independent thinker who comes up with

excellent ideas to improve workflow and product quality. He is the

"designer of choice" among many of the engineers within the group. Ron is

very knowledgeable of the various codes that are used in this line of work,

especially the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Ron has an outgoing

personality and is capable of getting along with even the most difficult

persons. He is a team player and team leader. With his vast experience

within the electrical industry Ron has proven himself to be a valuable

asset to Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation and I believe this will be

true for any company that he works for.

I offer my recommendation of Ron without hesitation and would be happy to

talk further with you about Ron. Please feel free to contact me as you

feel necessary.

Gentleman,

Please consider the following in your decision for the job Ron Johnston has

applied for in your group.

Ron Johnston has been working in my Electrical Engineering group as a

electrical designer for approximately 2 years. During this time his duties

included design of electrical schematics, cable and conduit routing, and

drafting of single lines and equipment layouts for gas turbine power

plants.

Creation of schematics includes interpreting engineering comments,

acquiring, reviewing, and interpretation of internal and external equipment

drawings and documentation. This is a critical task to ensure correct wire

terminations to all plant equipment. The schematics also included the DCS

loop diagrams for the plant.

Cable and Conduit routing design includes acquiring, reviewing, and

interpretation of internal and external equipment drawings and

documentation for physical design. Above grade drawings are composed of

plan, elevation, and section views of power plant equipment and the conduit

design. Cable and Conduit design use the above grade drawings as a guide

to provide conduit routes from below grade conduits to instruments and

junction boxes. Cable routes, conduit fill, and signal separation are all

criteria used in the designs.

Ron joined us at a time when we had a high volume of work with tight

schedules. He quickly got up to speed on our CADD systems and engineering

processes. His attention to detail, knowledge and approachable manor made

him the designer of choice for many of the engineers. Ron demonstrated his

skill set and background, by quickly and correctly addressing field

questions and problems during construction and commissioning of several

power plants.

Ron has been a valuable contributor to my engineering group. I highly

recommend him for future positions in this area.

Regards,

Jim

Johnston's last day. Ron has decided leave us, and California, to move to a

quieter part of the country. We would like to thank Ron for his hard work

on behalf of Mangan. I can't tell you the rave reviews that the PM's have

given Ron about his design skills. He is top drawer!

Ron, we'll miss your sunny disposition and cheerful laugh. We wish you the
