We have plenty of people at BearCom with decades of experience in two-way radios and other wireless products and solutions, but no one here can match the longevity of Chester Matusek. At 91, Chester is perhaps the oldest and longest-tenured employee of Motorola Solutions. The Algonquin, Illinois, resident is a metal mold maker who has worked on some of Motorola's most famous products, including the first DynaTAC cell phone. "At the metal shop, we were involved in everything at Motorola," Chester said in a recent story in suburban Chicago's Daily Herald newspaper. "I really liked working on the DynaTAC. That was an interesting job. Right now, I am repairing World War II walkie-talkies, because people like to talk on them when they visit our museum. It's not easy getting them up and running, but it's pretty amazing that the quality was there so many years ago that we still can get them running." Chester has a personal connection to the World War II-era walkie talkies—he's a former private who served during the war under General George S. Patton. He said he's been happy at Motorola and hopes to stay as long as possible. Now a restoration, duplication, and conservation archivist, Chester's jobs have included key operator, group leader, and then foreman of production tooling. It all started one day in 1955, when Chester quit his job at Nuclear Chicago and hopped in the car with his wife, Helen. By chance, they were driving down Augusta Boulevard in Chicago when Chester spotted a Motorola sign. "I told my wife, I need to go in and see if they have any openings," he said. "I walked in, waited an hour, and then chatted with Ernie Thileberg, Sr., the manager of the model shop, and within 15 minutes, I had a job. I walked to the car and told my wife that I report in two weeks. I wanted to finish my vacation before I started." It would become a job he'd never leave.   "Motorola was an up-and-coming company, and there was a lot of history there," Chester said. "I was and still am happy working here. The innovation has kept me interested." The newspaper story notes that Chester's wife passed away in 1980, and that he lives with his son, who is married. The grandfather of three has no plans to retire. "Just keep working," he said. "I am not quitting. No sense in sitting home in the rocking chair. As long as I'm able to, I'm going to keep on working."
