I went and had a fine time, though the ongoing Bull layoffs cast a pall
over the proceedings. There were about 30 of us, of which Dave Rocke
and I were the Digital component. Several, such as Rick Corley, have
been jobless for over a year. Bill Kinirey and the rest of the Field
Support group (including Mannie Cardoza and Chuck Corbett) were laid
off last Friday, as was Tony Booth's group. Fran Deary transferred
out of C&SP just in time to see it eliminated. It now looks as though
Bull is making little or no effort to find other jobs for long-term
good performers. Perhaps the winner is Margaret Flowers, who bailed
out a year ago and is enjoying staying home with her pets and being
able to travel with her husband.
It turns out that there are two such groups that each get together
once or twice annually. This group tends to be software engineering
alumni (a FEW are still at Bull); the other tends to be more hardware
oriented. If anyone has a point of contact for it, please post same.
I'll post the names from Marty's list (minus the additions/corrections
he received on Monday) in a separate note.

[mailing list stuff deleted]
There has been a suggeston that we put together a semi-monthly or so
newsletter that could contain notes on any news about yourself or
others that you would send in to be spread about. Think about it. It
would take some volunteers to do the work. We'll try to explore this
at our Nov. 4 dinner. If you have any ideas or would be willing to
participate, be sure to let us know.
Best Regards,
MARTY GREENFIELD
