Shane, Yeh, I guess that sort of floated under the radar for many folks.
When Rocket Software acquired Mainstar, it was my personal preference that software customers feel a smooth and seamless transition, and I didn't want my departure to have any bearing on it. Actually, I fit the statement made by General McArthur about old soldiers fading away. I'm having a small boat built right now, and plan to spend long periods over the next few years cruising up the Inside Passage, from Seattle to Juneau. Besides semi-retirement, though, I'm also going back to my roots of 30 years ago, helping to get a new start-up launched that will provide Internet-based self study training courses for mainframe z/OS programmers. I don't plan to have any day-to-day responsibilities in this venture, but in all likelihood, I will be involved in a VSAM course that will be one of the first offerings. In the meantime, I also watch this Listserv to see what the hot topics are and to vicariously keep in touch with many of you.

Indeed, things have been quiet from the neck of the woods recently. None of my contacts have mentioned you had left - I wonder why. Good luck with whatever you're doing now.
