註釋Caleb Warner glances up from his desk again to read the familiar, handwritten words on a scrap of paper taped onto his wall: "Grant me to find the task for which my talents fit me..." For almost 90 years he has sought to find the tasks to fit his talents. This chronicle recounts his life. Educated as a marine engineer, 21-year-old Ensign Caleb Warner served on a U.S. Navy repair ship off the south coast of England during the Normandy Invasion. A versatile trumpet player and small sailboat competitor, he later married and raised a family while working in New England's burgeoning post-war, high-tech industries. An avid problem solver and inventor, he developed and built contemporary harpsichords, then introduced an electronic harpsichord in the pre-synthesizer age. Ultimately, he discovered that he was, at his best, an entrepreneur. His New England-based one-man business drew on a cadre of highly-skilled colleagues, "guild"-style. Through this work, Warner and his peers tackled a series of engineering and technological projects in the medical and applied acoustics fields. Throughout it all, this husband and father also found time to be a musician, sailor and active community member.
