My apologies to anyone who feels this post inappropriate, but in view of
my imminent retirement, I want thank the entire IBM-MAIN community for
the 3+ decades of knowledge and support that have helped make my
employment and professional development a reality.
Most especially, even at the risk of offending anyone I miss, to the
following:
Leonard Woren, who mentored me in my early days at USC and has been a
reliable resource and sounding board in all the years since;
Brian Westerman, who helped me move on from UCSF-Stanford with a clear
conscience by filling any void I left and has also been of assistance in
all the years since;
Sam Golob, whom I met via email only recently, but who has always been
there for advice, technical support and an endless source of the
mainframe esoterica that made this world so interesting and fun.
To all the rest, the community at SHARE, former colleagues -- you all
rock! The dying mainframe of the early nineties has outlasted all of
us, and we all helped make it happen.
Again, thank you, and fare well wherever you fare! I've worn so many
mainframe hats, and I still have them all!
