Indeed Nathan, the fiber business completely reorientated Corning.  They
sold off the mundane parts of their business and concentrated on fiber and
"gorilla glass" applications.  A mark of a solid company moving with
the technology.

When you visit your son again as long as he is in the NYC area I strongly
recommend a trip along the Erie Canal.  A whole lot of interested historic
and current tech up there.
