    distributed. 
   

    I work at Virginia Road, but live in Maynard, on Maple Street.  So my
    interest is from a town, rather than DECcie, point of view.

    
    I work in Stow and live in Maynard (Apple Ridge). I'm interested
    both as a DECie and a "Maynardite?".

    Well I work here in Maynard... PKO1... in the Digital
    Telecommunications Computer Room... that's the small room in Pk1..
    
    I don't spend alot of time here other than work... mostly because
    I don't know my way around and I am new to the area... only been
    working in Maynard for 4 months...
    
    I live in Boston.. yes downtown.. I use to work in Boston for DEC
    in the Sales office... so I have added quite a bit of time to my
    commute.. but I really don't mind at all... in fact I sort of enjoy
    it...
    
    I am looking forward to finding out more about Maynard and what
    better way to do so....I love Notes.

I've lived in Maynard for more than three years now, and in Acton and 
Boxborough before that.

I have worked in Maynard for ten years, both in Parker St. and the Mill, 
sometimes simultaneously.

I'm in the video engineering part of the Terminals Business Unit, located 
in PK3.

    
    I've worked for DEC for almost 5 yrs. now, all of it in the Mill
    in Maynard.  Years before that I worked for another company that
    was in Maynard and was here with them for about 1 yr.  For DEC
    I'm part of the TBU, involved in buying out laser printers for DEC.
    
    I've lived in W. Acton for the last 12+ yrs. all that the same
    address (I HATE moving!!).                                         
    
    					Joe

    I've lived on Concord St. in Maynard for five years.  I work in
    LJO, but I did work in PK1 for two years.
    
    - Larry

    I have lived on Sherman Street (right next to Thompson St.) for
    the past 3� years.  I have worked in a bunch of facilities, including
    PK3.  I currently work in LKG (Littleon).
    
    - dave

  I've lived in Maynard for the past five years in the grey house at the
  corner of George and Paul Roads.  I worked in the Mill 1978-9 and can
  still navigate its maze of twisty passages.

  -- Bill B.

    I also work and live in Maynard. I live on the corner of Grant
    and Hayes Streets (right next to May Ling Restaurant), and I work
    for Educational Services Development and Publishing (ESD&P) as a
    technical writer in Parker Street.  

For those of you in building 5, I used to live in the green house at the
bottom of the hill on Thompson St.  For a while, I even had an infrared
optical modem connecting my terminal at home to the Mill.  (Then spring
came and the leaves came out.  Leaves are opaque.)

That house got too small and I now live over by the new chinese restraunt.

I work in PK3, I'd rather work in the mill (I used to).  I don't leave
Maynard unless I absolutely must.  Evan (Brother's pizza) and Jeff (True
Value hardware) know me by first name, I've been to their stores so many
times.

    Hello, My name is William j., Buckley. I've been a Maynardite for
    quite a few years now. I worked in the Mill for over 6 years, now
    I'm located in CFO1. 
    Cheers,
    -WJB

    I lived on Tremont Street from 1981-3, within easy walking distance
    of the Mill (like most of Maynard), where I never worked.  After
    getting married, we moved to Sudbury just east of the Maynard town
    line off 117.  So, while we're not townies, we certainly hang out
    a lot in Maynard (especially at Kiku -- yum!).  By the way, we miss
    the Pub... is there another place in town for slumming?
    
    Ed

I'm 4th generation of my family to live in Maynard, since great-
grandfolks got off the boat in 1889.  I live on Deane St. (all the
maps spell it Dean but the street sign says Deane).  I've been 
there for about 10 years and before that in the building that was
torn down to build McD's.  I've been with DEC 10 years; the last
5 hear at the Mill.

I work in Marketing Research in bldg 10 and enjoy it very much.

I run away from home almost every weekend, camping in the summer and
visiting friends in the winter.  

Has anyone ever been in the P.C.?  Hase POETS ever thought about
meeting there?  I'd kinda like to see the inside, but not enough to
go by myself!

    I live in Stow, just up the street from Maynard.  Near Shelburn
    farm.  I've lived here for 7 years.  I work in Chelmsford for US
    area reference software development.  I 've only wokrked for DEC
    for 2 years and I started at parker street.. sort of miss the
    5 minute commutes.
    
    Seems like half of Stow works for Digital.. 
    
    I grew up in Reading, MA.  Went back to my reunion a few years ago,
    told them I lived in Stow and no one knew where it was.  20 miles
    away..
       
    take it easy... dr bob
    

    I worked in Maynard full-time since 1979, and since 1976 when I
    was working on DECnet-20, bopping between MR1-2 and ML5-5.  I've
    been with the Video Terminals group and followed them from the Mill
    to Parker Street (grudgingly; I'd rather be at the Mill!).
    
    I refuse long commutes (my primary vehicle is a bicycle) so I've
    never lived more than 12 miles from Maynard.  I now live just over
    the Maynard line, on Red Acre Road in Stow, where I've been for
    about 5 years.

    I'm a millPerson (as of August 84) a townie (Parmenter Ave, as of
    August 87) and I've never looked at this conference until today! :^( 
    
    
    Pete

    My family has lived in Maynard for several generations.  (Glendale
    Street)
    
    I live in Southampton, England now but am from Maynard.  I used
    to live right across the street from the Mill and worked there for
    just 5 years before coming to work for Digital UK last year.  I
    worked in P.J.'s (I know it has a new name now but I don't know
    it) for many years also, moonlighting!  I was a secretary in Hardcopy
    (hello Bruce!), MSD, Personnel and Security working my way backwards.
    I am now a programmer/analyst here in the UK.
    
    I'm glad I found this conference as I get mighty homesick sometimes
    of news of how Maynard is changing/growing.
    
    Nice to have found you all.

    I'm Dave Close. I work in the Mill in the desktop communications group.
    We create all the promotional literature, etc. for workstations, PCs,
    terminals, and printers.
    
    Last September My wife, son, and I became Maynardites. We live on
    Lincoln St, off Concord, in an old house. I've been learning the joys
    of wallpaper stripping, plastering, and painting for five months now. 
    
    We enjoy Maynard and we're very happy with the move. We lived in
    Coolidge Corner in Brookline for 5 years before this, and in Cambridge
    and Somerville before that. I haven't missed being closer to the city
    for a minute since we moved. I love to run, bike, and golf, and this is
    a great area for that. My commute is down from an hour to three
    minutes. On days when my son isn't in daycare, I walk to work. My wife
    is only five minutes from her nursing job in Concord.
    
    My son loves the Greenmeadow playground and the Stow airport. At 23
    months, his world is defined by slides, swings, and airplanes --
    another win for Maynard.
    
    Our street is an interesting mix of old-timers and newcomers -- mostly
    old timers. Most people have lived there for 30 or 40 years. Their
    children are grown and gone. Now there are three or four younger
    families, and the cycle is starting again. We looked for a long, long
    time to find a home we could afford. We can't afford the one we bought
    -- this is Massachusetts, after all -- but of all the places we looked,
    we liked the tree-lined streets and interesting old houses in Maynard.
    
    This is a very convenient town. If you haven't lived in Brookline or
    Cambridge, you don't know what inconvenience is. Parking, traffic,
    noise -- I'm glad to be out of it. By now I guess I've run every street
    and every neighborhood in the town. I enjoy it, and with only a couple
    of exceptions, the streets and houses show a real pride of ownership.
    It's not a fancy town -- which isn't our style anyway -- but it's sure
    a nice place to live.

    My name John Gunnerson, live on Parker Street in Maynard. My property
    abuts Digital's PKO cluster on the PK1 side. We've lived there since
    1983. I used to work at PK3 (where I could walk) but was moved to
    Chelmsford and then took another job in Marlboro. Can't seem to find a
    job in Maynard. 
    
    It has to be said. I just found this note. Have learned more about
    Maynard from reading it than living there for 6 years.
    
    john
    
    P.S. I hate all of you who work at PKO (it is next to impossible to get
    in and out of my drive at rush hours). I know, it isn't your fault.

    I'm Julia Walker, live on Waltham Street, you know that "beautiful"
    cape just before the Rod and Gun Club that those nice kids have
    been fixing up for the last 4 years!  I work in Littleton, on
    Porter road where the cafe is lousy.  I have 3 kids, 2 at GM,
    which I love (one is only 7 months).
    
    I love this notes file too.

    I have lived in Maynard for well over 30 years.  I worked in the mill
    before DEC came to town.  I also worked eight years for HH Scott where
    MSO is now.  I had six children go through the Maynard school system. 
    I moved out here after I married in 1952, we lived with my in-laws for
    a year, then we moved back into the city.  In 1958 we moved back to
    Maynard and have been here ever since.  I love Maynard and have seen
    many changes over the years, not all of them for the better (traffic)
    but nothing we can't live with.  I remember when lots of people looked
    down on Maynard and wouldn't live here, now there are houses in the
    $200K bracket.  You can purchase just about everything you might need
    right here in town.

    My name is Liz Augustine. In 1984, I moved to Stow, then to Acton in
    1988, and finally, finally to Maynard in April of this year. I like my
    new town -- it's down-to-earth, it has a real down town, and it's not
    stuck in the past (though changes come slowly). I'm concerned about
    local issues and have been following the school regionalization debate
    with interest.

    To Liz
    	What to fien out more about the town? There are postions open on
    the Finance Committee. We met this Tuesday come on down an see what
    goes one behind the seens.

    Well, I guess I shouldn't stay read-only!
    
    I was a young Maynardian since birth.  I lived in town until I got
    married (a whole 27 years - give or take a few bachelorette
    apartments). I went to Roosevelt on Nason street for the first 6 yrs of
    school life (I remember Mr Greeno - my cheeks remember Mr Greeno). 
    Then I went to Emerson Junior High - I remember Mr Pratt and the Goober
    Jelly!  Then off to Maynard High - I remember the drug bust!  I
    remember Mr Lent and his discussion on chivalry!  I remember Mr Linney
    and Mrs Smith!
    
    I worked at Bachrach's from age 15 to 17 then on to Victory.  
    
    Then it was off to the real world - full time employment at Digital!
    
    Ah, yes!  Maynard!  Sorry, but it's nothing like it was!  (Maybe that's
    good 8^) - maybe it's not 8^(

    I'm Ed Horrigan. I grew up in Marlboro, and married into Maynard. I've
    been living here since 1984. I reply occasionally so I thought I should 
    identify myself.
    I work in Maynard, MLO8-2, for the Corporate Design Group.
