Welcome to DECconnection.org, a website established to benefit anyone and everyone who ever was connected to Digital Equipment Corporation, regardless of where they now live or whether they are working or not.

This website is dedicated to preserving and enhancing what we all feel made Digital a unique place to work.  We strive to do this by fostering connectivity and communication among members of the Digital "family".  Launched in March 2006, this site promoted  the Tribute to Ken Olsen at Gordon College in June of 2006, the 50th Reunion Celebration at Clock Tower Place on May 24th 2007, and recently we celebrated the 50th anniversary with a Member Dinner/Reunion at the Stow Acres Country Club.

Your Board of Directors is busy revitalizing its operation to better address the needs or our expanding membership.  If you are interested in learning more, please visit our Member Forum, Board of Directors topic. 

In December 2007, our membership voted to change our name to The DEC Connection in recognition of our new goals and broader membership base.

We were happy to present a $2500 check to Gordon College on June 27^th as a donation to the Ken Olsen Science Center.  Gordon College is planning an opening of the Center in September 2008.  We will provide further information about that as things develop and we hear more.  For starters, we have been informed that Gordon College is naming conference rooms for three vice presidents of Digital Equipment Corporation.

This website belongs to its members and exists, as stated above, to help the Digital family stay connected.  We hope you will choose to Join Us and participate in our meetings and online chats.  From the topics listed in the left-hand menu, you can see that we want to keep Ken's heritage alive, since we all appreciate having experienced the “Digital Culture.” By keeping in touch both in person and online, we hope to sustain Ken's legacy well into the future, help each other, and have fun. So please explore what this site offers, and of course let us know how it can better serve your interests.  Thank you for visiting www.decconnection.org.
