The modern layer, and the movers: a closing roster

ITEM 11 · THE PRESENT LAYER AND THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THE BASE

The modern layer stands in three pieces, all banked or dug in this run, and then the roster names the people: the Microsoft EKI campus (banked whole in businesses — the hyperscale arrival on the old St. No health-software firm seated in the CDP and no geothermal or water-technology manufacturer seated in the CDP appears in the records reached for this item; the water-technology seat this ground genuinely holds is EmNet's founding, already counted, and it is not counted twice.

The movers — the named people who built the base this section records, each at the strength of their record: Jerome J. Green, who sent the first long-range wireless message in America from the basilica spire in 1899 (item 1). Kevin SmithPat McMahon, who led Project Future for thirty years and then became Notre Dame's director of technology commercialization — the Metronet's institutional father, on the Notre Dame Magazine record. Jeffrey Talley and Michael Lemmon, the Notre Dame professors whose 2004 sewer-sensor research became EmNet; Luis Montestruque, the graduate student who founded and ran the company, and Gary GilotMichael Niemier, the Notre Dame computer-science professor in whose research programme Amanda Fox — the Prairie Vista third-grade teacher whose computer-science curriculum work the schools and awards record carries, a Presidential Award finalist on the district's account — spent four summers (EXPAND-SCHOOLS-NOTE): the one named thread that runs from the university's computing base directly into a Granger classroom, printed at exactly that strength. Nitesh Chawla and Joe Urbany, the professor-founders of Aunalytics and Vennli; Gary Gigot, who endowed the pipeline's first center and then used it; Bryan RitchieAnd Haji Tehrani, who could not find a good car wash in South Bend and built, from a Cleveland Road office, the firm that designs and manufactures its own machines (item 5). The roster is this section's close: a professoriate across the line, one station-buyer, one cooperative generation unnamed in their townships, and the founders who seated themselves here. The base was built by identifiable people; almost none of them were built by Granger — and the two who seated their work on this ground, Montestruque's EmNet and Tehrani's Drive & Shine, are the exceptions this whole addendum exists to print at full size.
