While I am pleased for both Mainstar and Rocket Software, I am sad that I will no longer know a President and CEO of a major corporation. Not that Ron ever acted like one!
I want to take this opportunity in this public forum to personally thank Ron for his decades of untiring dedication to the platform we all love. I hope that he still plans to continue to educate us on things VSAM and catalogs.
