Denzel Brewer was a lifetime member of
the AMTA and a strong supporter of this small but worthwhile
organization. Denzel had many friends throughout Security Service
and he will be greatly missed as he enjoyed the AMTA reunions and we
looked forward to seeing him each time. |

thing. He saw an advertisement for an Electronic Technician,
applied, was hired and he worked there for four years until an
Engineering friend asked him to come work with him at Gearhart Owens of

needed someone with a background in Electronics and explosives.
