small worlds, such fun!
My boss was still there in the 70's - last time I saw him in person was
probably 1975 - but could have been 1978. I'm trying to remember the
name of the building it was in - it began with A...
He hired me, he said, because I was the only one who had written a
literate letter of application - it was a general letter left with the
campus employment for "office work". I think it helped that he was from
New Jersey and I was from New York... He was rather awkward socially,
but would occasionally come out with some wonderful off-the-cuff zingers.
It was in the same building with the engineers and physics dept I recall
but cant remember the name of it.

and as for me, Univrsity of Maine, Orono... working from 1961 to late
1962 or
early 1963 for the head of the newly developed Computer center..
that happens to be where i first saw a real live computer; high school
field trip in the mid-70s; we got to look at the machine through a
window and watch someone punch something into a teletype; i had a
charter subscription to Byte magazine, but i hadn't touched a computer,
and still hadn't after that trip until i bought myself a programmable
calculator in 1977
