Sept. 27, 2007: 150
former employees enjoyed our second celebration of the 50th year of the
founding of Digital Equipment Corporation with a 3-course dinner and reunion
at the Stow Acres Country Club. Some of the attendees competed in the
optional Golf Tournament during the day.

I’m honored that you might share this. I
can still remember how BJ Johnson and his team were so hard at work on
DECnet, and everyone was laughing about this flimsy TC/IP stuff. Well,
unfortunately, we didn’t get the last laugh.
Yet, I doubt if there is a company that has
gone away, yet where even after fifty years the spirit is still very
much alive. This ought to be one for the Guinness Book. In fact, why not
submit it and see if it sticks? My very best to all the wonderful people
who keep DEC’s spirit alive … may we all live till the 100th
anniversary!!! (If not us, certainly DECs spirit will still be alive!)

Dear Robert and team, I truly wish I might
be with you all on the 27th, but it's a bit far from Munich to Stow. Had
we won with DECnet Phase 5 instead of TC/IP, I might have been able to
beam myself to Stow. My best wishes for a wonderful reunion and
remembrances of a time when things hummed in at the Mill and elsewhere.
Cheers, Charles |

Sadly I'll be in Las Vegas the
entire week of the 22nd through October 1st. Have a great "Camelot"
time..."there once was a bright and shining spot, called "Digital..."

Nice party yesterday….I know it is a lot
of work to organize those events, and it looks like everything came
together really well! I ran into a few folks that I hadn't seen
for a while... and it was good to see others who I have. |

This was a team effort and everybody
pitched in and made it a success. Although the golf tournament and
the dinner were smaller than we anticipated, everybody who did attend
had a great time from the feedback I have received. The four groups of
golfers had a great time and appreciated the sponsorship of Legacy
Financial Advisors - thank you! The dinner went extremely well and the
150 attendees was an almost perfect number for the venue. It wasn't
crowded but didn't look empty and it was possible to find everybody you
wanted to connect with and also pick out long-lost friends. Everything
went smoothly, registration, dinner and socialization. Thank you
everybody, and especially the volunteers who offered their assistance
for this event. |
