Motorola, StarNine, SkyWey, ,in black and white ,
- Arizona State University, an awesome fellow, he's near real-time and embedded.
- Motorola, SmallTalk, Squeak, Cincom Systems - In less than 10 keystrokes Captain RTFM deleted the entire file system on the main computer. Re-emerging from his tardis as superhero Captain Root, he reinstalled the operating system and restored all our work from backups.
- Motorola, Wal*Mart - When Orren first came from Maine to work in Arizona, his friends took him tubing down the Verde River. All day, no sunblock. The next day at work, he was purple. We made sure he got sent home until he returned to a proper color.

His is history.
- Here is his .
Fred is well known world-wide by Amiga enthusiasts for his Amiga share-ware CD-ROM collection.
Some of us shared a cube with Fred at Motorola.
Fred Fish was a friend to all of us computer geeks and then some. He always had a smile.
He is remembered well by his family and by us, too.
- Motorola; when I worked with Paolo, he thought fast, talked fast, drove cars fast and drank plenty of coffee in every form, especially expresso. He was good to have around, especialy when things were difficult or just needed to be lively.
- Trust and Estate Law - Keith has spent a lifetime helping persons protect their property.
- Camp Orizaba, AGSIM (when I lived only a block away) - haven't talked to Steve in ages. No doubt he's living the life now!
- Motorola, GetNet - Jeff went into business in Phoenix with his brother. His dot-com is one of those that survived, probably because he is dedicated to provide the very best service. Good job, Jeff.
- Motorola - Greg's a multi-faceted fellow. He likes to play with lasers and knows the computer language Forth from the bottom up. Greg is now a liberated free-lance programmer.
Ross Inglis - Motorola - Last I heard from Ross, he was working . Don't bother googling for him - would you believe there's a large number of others with the same name? For a while Ross moved back and forth between Arizona and the United Kingdom. We were always glad to see him arrive and sad to see him leave. These days he has had long term employment in the UK.
Storm Johnson
- Motorola. He's probably got a Facebook and even a LinkedIn page but no photos and too many Storm Johnsons in the U.S. At Motorola, Storm cleaned up his cube only once that I remember. He had cartoons posted all over it.
Here's a few good photos of the bearded one from the 2004 Geo Adventure trip to Kvanefjeld, Greenland on Cory Waste's web site.

Well, our childhood homes at are almost unrecognizable from 1949, but Gary Simonelli's previous abode is unmistakeable.
- Parenting - I liked Bob from the first meeting. I could tell he relates from his heart, even when he seems otherwise.
- Wal-Mart - Graeme is on LinkedIn.com. I met him at Wal*Mart where he was the TOP END expert. Last I heard, and apparently still there, he is a systems Architect at Liberty Mutual in New Hampshire. When I worked with him, he was very sharp and I doubt that has changed since then. If you ever get the chance, hire him. You won't be sorry.
Steven J Rolnick - Steven is a private person, so I won't say much except that he is a fine person. Wish I had his email address.
- Motorola, SmallTalk, Squeak, Parcplace-Digitalk, Cincom Systems and . John more than once said that he had wanted either to get his PhD in math or to go to clown school. Well, he didn't.
- Wal*Mart - Jim offered me a place to stay (I shared expenses) when I was on contract at Wal*Mart. Thanks, Jim.
Jim has his career path straight and he's a hard
worker. He also likes to take photos. Check out
his site.
- Motorola, (Monte Vista Software?), Green Hills Software, Wind River - I knew Ed at Motorola. I often enjoyed chatting with him. He was hilarious. He had an incredibly large collection of synonyms for an unpleasant subject. I won't say what the subject was.
- Gold Mind Systems, Motorola, Stratus - Rick is a good friend I met at Gold Mind Systems. He tipped me off to my job at Motorola (Codex at the time) and got a job there as well. Thanks, Rick. He is a chess buff and a much better player than I am. He also runs a chess club with meetings around the Phoenix metro area.
- Motorola, Stratus - Kevin is a good friend and one of those people you like almost immediately. He's humble and modest and has helped me with some mundane tasks while I was out of state on a contract. Thanks, Kevin.
Fred "Woody" Turner, Charlene Turner, Ruth Turner - Years ago, they said they were moving, possibly to South Dakota. I haven't seen or heard from them since. Woody, I would love to hear from you or Charlene. Just send me email: postmaster care of this site.
- Motorola - The last link I found for Charles (20110405)
Barbara Zinn was an engineer I knew at Motorola. She was among the few engineers with a pilot's licenses. She was reconstructing an antique light plan in her home. While at Motorola, she started a new career with the United States National Park Service (NPS) as a park ranger. She's been there since. Here are links I could find in April, 2011:
