Ron, your name sounded vaguely familiar, but when you said "Vsam course" the light flashed up and I went through my archive of course manuals and indeed found the 1987 "VSAM course by Ronald K. Ferguson" you gave at KLM. I remember it as an excellent course, presented with enthousiasme, and I remember what you said about buying BMW's in Germany yourself: this was the only opportunity to do what BMW's are for: driving them at 200 km/h.
I wish you all the best for your future plans. Kees.
