Dick,
I remember the first time I met you.... fall 1985 at User Week in Los
Angeles.?? I'm there as a user, first conference in my life.?? I remember
2 things from the conference... the Beach Boys at the Event Night, and
your class on ADS.?? I don't actually remember much of the content of the
class itself, but I remember sitting in this long narrow room with an
instructror with short blond hair waiting for to start his
presentation.?? Somebody from the hotel walks in and asks him if he
needed a microphone, and you answer nope, you have a loud voice that
carries!?? True!
It's been a real pleasure working with you over the years Dick, and on
behalf of the IUA, I thank you for your dedication to the IDMS product
line, the IDMS users and for all your help at our conferences over the
years !
On a personal note, have fun, enjoy life, bike away!?? Good news: you
won't ever have to justify not going on a business trip on a game night !
If you ever come to Montreal, please give me a call, we'll have a beer!

After 42 years of working with IDMS, 38 of those with Cullinet/CA/Broadcom I will be retiring at the end of this week.
I have always been proud that IDMS had the highest customer satisfaction rating within CA and I know the current organization is committed to continuing that tradition.
It has certainly been an interesting experience over the years and I have had the opportunity to meet many of you at conferences and onsite visits. I have appreciated all of the support I received and the friendships that were established both within the U.S. and internationally.
Best of luck with your future endeavors with IDMS.
