During his 32-year career at Tektronix, Long was the vice president of technology and communications and implemented many new products-not all of which received kudos . 'Tm not afraid to take a risk," says Long. "I just go do something and see if it turns out right. If I don't like it, I get out of it. After all, life is a risk." He retired from Tektronix, but missed the chal– lenges of work. Before retiring he had started night classes at PSU toward his doctorate in engineering and technology management (ETM). After retire– ment he finished the program during the day, then went right back to work as a director at Planar Sys– tems. Five years later, an acquaintance approached him with an innovative concept for electric motors, and Long launched a new company to develop and market the invention. Motile Corporation is only a year old, and Long admits that it will take a fair amount of work to get the company up and running. Still, he finds time to teach management of technology and innovation for the ETM program, as hes done for the past four years. In addition, Long serves on multiple corpo– rate boards. lt may sound tiring, but Long enjoys his busy schedule. "For me, work is fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it," says Long, who is 70 years old. "You're never too old to keep learning and I believe you've got to stay interested in some– thing." Long approaches his personal life with the same gusto he infuses into his profession. He works out at a gym for an hour every morning and takes care of his 40 acres of property in the northwest hills. Long and his wife, Dolores, have been married for almost 50 years and have four grown children and several grandchildren. Despite his penchant for the challenges of work, simply spending time with his grandchildren is one of Long's greatest pleasures. -Kelli Fields senior project at PSU, expecting a one-Lime event.
