No matter what they called us, Radiation Monitors, Radiation Protection Technologists or Health Physics Technologists, for many of us, our first day on the job began with meeting Bernie at the Federal Building so he could drive us to our first assignment.  For me, he walked me straight into B-Plant (Cesium-Strontium Separation Facility / Cesium Encapsulation and Storage Facility).  Bernie is a legend for many rad techs at Hanford, they just don't make them like him anymore! 
Rest in Peace, Bernie.
