This picture was taken 27 years ago. This was the best of the many wonderful groups I worked with as a software developer. From the left: me, Marv, Keith, Georgina and Ann. Sadly Marv and Ann are no longer with us. It was Anne who replaced the Help Screen with a hand with only the middle finger extended especially for our manager the first time he logged into the HCF application we were developing. "What can I do?" he asked. "Hit the help key" said Anne brightly. "I didn't see that" was the response as he walked out of the room. It was also Anne who yelled "Help, Help" when I was talking to Marv in the next office. "I have a headache!" yelled Marv back. I miss them both. Thank you, Keith for sending this memory.

Good gracious, now THAT'S a beard! To be honest, the most 70's aspect of that picture is the resemblance to the movie poster for 'All the President's Men.' In all seriousness, I'd love to hear more about what exactly you did as a software engineer. Now that I'm an 'information scientist' (tee-hee) I'm really curious about what you were working on back in the day...
