He has demonstrated all of these characteristics and more. He is rapidly becoming an excellent heat treater. What he doesn’t know he reads about and then asks intelligent questions, absorbs the information, thinks about it, and does not have to ask about that subject again. He is eager to help in troubleshooting any heat treat process to expand his knowledge. Plus, Jonathan is a really good young man.
