Jean was at the ibm boston programming center on the 3rd flr of 545 tech
sq (ibm science center was on the 4th flr and project mac, multics was
on the 5th flr).

the cp/67-cms group split off from the science center and in the process
of morphing into the vm370 group took over the boston programming center
on the 3rd flr ... absorbing most of the people (although Jean and one
or two others effectively became attached to the science center).

I would sometimes bring my kids with me when I went in to do some work
on weekends ... and they could get noisy running up and down some of the
halls. Usually the only other person that was in on the weekends was
Jean ... and she would periodically look me up to complain about how
noisy my kids were.
