Conference hydra::dejavu

    
    Thanks for your warning, Steve, but for many of us here at MOO
    it came too late.  One minute we were working 7 days a week, and
    the next minute our whole department was zapped, eliminated, TFSO'd.
    For me, almost 13 years of wonderful nights - and now, after tonight,
    only one more night to go....
    
    My thanks to the people in Dejavu is enormous - you gave me experiences
    to contemplate, information to savor, dreams to interpret.  You contin-
    ually affirmed that other reality that the Angel of Layoff can neither
    enter nor disturb.  As Robert Frost once said, "We will not be put off
    the final goal we have it hidden in us to obtain."

    Will miss your input very much, Virginia, especially your dream
    interpretations.
    
    Best of luck and Light to you,

    re: .1 (Virginia)
    
         I hope you find lots of success and happiness whereever you
    go.

    (and I'm right behind you, it appears...ANY layoffs to my department,
    and there should be some, and I'll be gone within four weeks.)
    

after trying, unsuccessfully, since the first package was announced, to 
obtain it, I'm convinced the only ritual this angel responses to

is  'ask and ye shall not receive' .....

    Even Ken got hit...
    
[ from LiveWire 7/16/92 ]

              Digital announces retirement of Ken Olsen; Board of
              Directors expected to name Bob Palmer as successor.

  President and founder Ken Olsen, 66, plans to retire from the company, 
  effective Oct. 1.  

  At its next meeting, the Board of Directors is expected to approve Ken's 
  recommendation that Bob Palmer, 51, vice president, Manufacturing and 
  Logistics, be named president and chief executive officer. 

  "I've had a long and satisfying career at Digital, and it's time for the next 
  generation of management to assume leadership," said Ken.  "I'm making this 
  announcement now to provide an orderly transition at the beginning of the 
  company's 1993 fiscal year."

  Commenting on the announcement, Bob said, "We have a strong business with 
  talented and dedicated people, clearly focused on providing computing 
  solutions for organizations worldwide.  I'm honored and eager to carry forward
  the vision that Ken has established for Digital.  He is a computer industry 
  pioneer and an architect of innovation, and has built one of the world's 
  major corporations.  His vision of interactive and distributed computing has
  been revolutionary."  

  Bob joined Digital in 1985.  In 1986 he was named vice president, 
  Semiconductor Operations.  In 1989 he was appointed vice president, 
  Semiconductor and Interconnect Technology.  He was appointed to his present 
  position in Nov., 1990.  Previously, Bob served as executive vice president,
  Semiconductor Operations, United Technologies Corporation, which acquired 
  Mostek Corporation in 1980.  He was one of Mostek's founders and held a 
  series of management positions.  He earned a bachelor of science degree in 
  mathematics and a master of science degree in physics from Texas Tech 
  University.  He is a past member of the Boards of Directors of the 
  Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), SEMATECH, Semiconductor Research 
  Center (SRC), and the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation 
  (MCC).

  Ken founded Digital in 1957, and has been its only chief executive officer.  
  He is a member of the Boards of Directors of Polaroid Corporation and Ford 
  Motor Company; the Corporation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
  (MIT), Cambridge, Mass.; board of trustees, Gordon College, Wenham, Mass.; 
  the Corporation of Wentworth Institute, Boston; and a deacon of Boston's 
  Park Street Church. 
    

Virginia,

Sorry to see you go. I will really miss your dream interpretations. Sue and I 
thank you for all your help. I wish you well.

    Oh Steve Kallis, Jr., I just read over in Digital that you have been
    TFSO'd.  I am really saddened to read that.  I've enjoyed your notes so
    much over the years.  You will be very much missed.
    
    Fondest regards,
    
    Ro
    

    Steve,
    
    I too have enjoyed your words.  I wish you the very
    best.  It won't be the same without you.
    
    Joanne

    Re (Ro, Joanne, Marcos):
    
    Thanks more than you can know for the kind words.
    
    I still have through Friday to find a job within Digital, and I'm
    looking hard.
    
    Best to everyone,
    
    Steve Kallis, Jr.

        I'm surprised!  Walking encyclopedias are hard to replace! 
    What will DEC do without you?! ;-)
    
        Your knowledge has dazzled me on many occasions, from the
    very beginning.  Your departure will be a big loss for very
    many people, I'm sure.  (Although since I probably won't be
    here, either, I'm not going to notice just you, but everyone!)
    ;-}
        I wish you lots of success, whereever you go.

    I to always look for Steve's replys.  Could positive thoughts and
    energies turn this around????  We should also concentrate our efforts
    to see what positive enery we can exert as a group!!!   

Steve,

I am sad to hear you are going.  I have also enjoyed your contributions in
various notes files.

I wish you lots of success in your life after Digital.

warm regards,

Girish

    Steve,
    
    Hope we can "visualize" a job for you in the next few days! A mind like
    yours is irreplaceable! Added to your good humor, of course....
    
    If you are unsuccessful, please know how missed you will be. You have
    instructed so many of us over the years; I for one, am a better
    (informed) person for having known you (in the notical sense, of course).
    
    Wishing you the best,
    
    Marilyn  :^( 
              

    Steve,
    
    This place will definitely not be the same without you.  It's hard to
    imagine that you would be TFSO'd -- really makes me wonder about the
    criteria!                                           
    
    Hope you land safely -- inside or outside of DEC.  Your contributions
    to this file will be sorely missed.
    
    Mary

    
    Steve,
    
    Although I have not participated some conferences much since I first 
    came to Digital, I always enjoyed reading your notes. Your greatly
    contributions to the conference will be much missed.
    
    Wish you a best of luck!

    Steve Kallis, Jr.,
    
    Positively DIGITAL's loss.  I can't think of anyone who has
    contributed as much positive value in information and humor for so long 
    to so many people in this medium as you, Steve.
    
          - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -
    
    I'm also sorry to hear about Virginia, whose writings I have long
    enjoyed in this conference.  
    
    						take care,
    
    						todd

    Steve,
    
    You may not recognise my name, but I recognise yours from a variety of
    conferences I frequent.
    
    Here's to sending out positive energy in hopes that you'll find another
    position within Digital.
    
    Best regards,
    Michelle

    Steve,
    
    I liked your contributions to this notesfiles from the beginning.
    Hopefully you will find another job within Digital.....as others
    stated ; what is this file without you......
    
    Wish you the best,
    
    Johnny ^0^

Steve,

	Truely a sad day!!   I've always enjoyed reading your 
contributions to many files   - If you were there, I knew it was 
going to be OK, no matter how far over my head the topic was or how 
upset people got about the topic - you always added a touch of 
reality, humor and reassurance no matter where it was....


I'll miss you!

Pat

Steve,

	Sad to see you go, a major name in so many Notesfiles... good luck and
all the best in whatever you plan to do... i.e. best wishes in your "Silent
Running"! :-) (With pumpkins & all...)

    Steve, I wish you the best no matter where your life's journey
    takes you.
    
    If you are interested in Finance at all, try the Financial Management
    Centers (Corporate).  We have been excluded from all packages to
    date and I believe we are taking on even more of the financial
    operations in the future.  The FMCs are in MKO, MLO, SHR, CXO and TPO.

Steve,

We will all miss your vast wealth of knowledge and information....You
have been an inspiration to many...May the Slyphs of the Air Element carry 
you softly on their wings and deposit you gently when you reach the place 
for the beginning of your Divine Mission. 

Best wishes to you always,

With Much LOVE to you in the LIGHT,
I AM
