[edit] We need a picture

Can someone dig up a picture of Alfred Gross? There is one over at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/62/19670/00911321.pdf?isnumber=19670&prod=STD&arnumber=911321&arnumber=911321&arSt=43&ared=44&arAuthor=Schroer%2C+R.

I've sent an email to Orbital Sciences Corp to try to get permission for using the image in question on Wikipedia. The image can be seen at http://hamgallery.com/Tribute/W8PAL/Al_Gross.jpg --cslarsen 12:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bio and awards

He (probably) received more awards, we need to expand on that.

Also, the bio is a bit thin, as are the other sections. We need to get more sources so we can write up a better article. --- cslarsen 11:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I need help writing this article

The more I read about Gross, the more I realize that this article BY FAR does not give credit to his achievements. Do a search on "Al Gross" and see all the results. We need to go through all the sources and write up a really good article. Who knows, maybe we'll hit the featured article if we do things right! Or not.... --cslarsen 12:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Full name?

Seems his full name was actually Irving Alfred (J.?) Gross, see the VirginiaTech image database and check out the W8PAL certificate scans. If you search Google patents, you find his inventions under Irving A. Gross, see http://www.google.com/patents?q=irving+a.+gross&btnG=Search+Patents --cslarsen 10:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
