620.0. "Bye" by VAXUUM::KOHLBRENNER () Thu Jul 18 1991 08:36

This is a goodbye note.

My last day is tomorrow (July 19).  I've been planning
to leave for about nine months, and the day is almost here.
I'm leaving Digital, and leaving programming as a career.
(I started on the UNIVAC I at Wright-Patterson AFB in 1957.)

I have really enjoyed writing here, and I will miss it.
Ideas lurk in the crevices of my brain and it is only 
when I pry them out and find words for them that I can
decide on their worth.  So writing for me is a process 
of discovery, and MENNOTES has been a gold mine.

Bye,           - Wil

    You've anchored the "extremely" end of the degree-of-thoughtfulness
    scale for a long time, Wil. It's been a good model for me as I attempt
    to spend less time at the other "not at all thoughtful" end. I hope
    you'll be able to maintain that, amidst all the bustle of moving, etc.
    
    Remember to get your exercise (my personal therapy program)...
620.6TNPUBS::GFISHERWork that dream and love your lifeThu Jul 18 1991 11:208
Best of luck, Wil.  I really love the DC area, and I hope that you do, 
too.  (Or had you lived there previously?)

Take care.

    I've never lived there.  It is where my two older sons
    and their families chose to live, which is why I am going there.

    Wil -- I'll miss your balance, and calm, and thoughtfulness.
    
    Fare well in whatever you do.
                                        peace,

    I have read this file, and UU, infrequently, but have always enjoyed
    your thoughts and reflections. You've made a great contribution to
    this file, as far as I am concerned.
    
    Best wishes on your Life After Dec.

    Well, not wanting to start another topic, I just wanted to say that
    I've just accepted a new job, and thus won't have time for MENNOTES for
    a while...  I've enjoyed some of the discussions, though am incredibly
    tired of the het/gay battles...  In particular the 'HIV/Aids information
    note' and the 'Sons talking about their dads and moms' strings were
    valuable to me...
    
    While certainly not a long-time contributor, I hope I've added
    something to the conference, and after I get settled in, I will likely
    re-open this topic...   Hopefully by then we will be discussing MEN and
    how ALL men relate to the world around them more than we are battling
    MEN v. MEN...
    
    Have fun, see you lata,

620.12Departing for the CityXNOGOV::CHAPPINNever tell me the odds!Tue Aug 25 1992 08:218
       I depart on Friday. I've been mainly read-only here, but have noted
    occasionally. It's been an education and also an experience to find so
    many similar views and outlooks to my own.
       Well, manly handshakes or hugs; whatever you prefer. Best regards to
    all...
    
       Paul.
