    No. 72-546.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    May 21, 1973.
    E. D. Cossaboom, Jr. of Hedman Lawrence & Cossaboom, Melbourne, for appellant.
    William A. Block, Cocoa Beach, of Stevens & Block, Merritt Island, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

REED, C. J., and CROSS, J., concur.

WALDEN, J., dissents with opinion.

WALDEN, Judge

(dissenting):

In my view the verdict in favor of plaintiff upon the employment agreement was contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence. The evidence as I see it clearly reflects that plaintiff was deficient and not competent in performing the assigned tasks, thus and thereby warranting his dismissal.

I would reverse and remand for a new trial.
