   with the CP42 group as an operator where he filled in for shift
   operators and undertook development projects.  In 1989 Ken joined
   the TRIUMF PET group as Tomograph Engineer and applied himself to

   the PET program.  When the PET program acquired the TR13 13MeV
   cyclotron in 1992 Ken acquired the position of Project Engineer and
   is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all the major
   equipment of the PET program.  He has one technologist assisting in
