    in the fall :-)
    
    - DC the first

    Well DC you will sorely be missed here in GRATEFUL, but like most
    rashes a little ointment will help....its good to hear that you had a
    chance to make this cut on your own ground....if I see ya on the
    superhighway I'll be sure to stop....
    
    Peace my friend

    DC-
    
    You will be missed!!! Especially your interesting sense of humor
    that has got me laughing more than once.  
    
    With the way technology is moving, I predict that in 5 years we will 
    able to note once again even though we won't be employees...let's hope!
    
    Once a DEChead, always a DEChead.
    
    Party on Dude!.... and thanks for the campsite!!! ;-)

I suppose eventually the "Not at DEC" distribution list will be bigger than
the Grateful membership list, at which point someone could turn it into a
mailing list!  Or maybe even a newsgroup, like rec.music.gdead.exdeccies ;^)

Actually I got myself an account with MV Communications here in NH, for access
to the Internet etc. after I'm gone, and they have something called
Internet Relay Chat (IRC), real-time discussion like VAX Phone only it's
separated into channels like a CB radio ... each channel has a topic ...
cool stuff.

    I'm sad to hear this news....  :-(  
    
    I'm definately going to miss your notes and silly mail dc!  
    All the best to you!!!  I'm sure I'll see you at SIS.

i don't think the packages are quite that generous anymore.

best of luck, dc.

    oh no - i can't bear this!  Not our DC!  We are really going to miss
    you in here and in every part of our dec_ness. How could such a
    technical genius be let go, I ask the universe!  
    I'm so proud you are a friend - I feel very fortunate to know you.
    
    carol
    

Sure, sting us along all this time just to drop the ball on us at the very 
last minnit that you're not even DC at all, sheesh, rilly, DL!

We'll miss ya a lot!

Ah yes, the crowd is shrinking again.  Gee, we never even got to set up that
dechead star party we've been musing about.  Hopefully you've got things
set up or at least have some thoughts about what you want to do.  Be 
looking for you at SIS this weekend.  

Later,
PeterT

    
    :-(  
    
    I miss you already.
    
    

So I figured I'd get a jolt with a can of Dew at this wee hour, take a 
break from the upbeat, thrill-o-minute that's work these days and catch 
up  on some friendly banter in Grateful and what note pops up first but 
this one! Damn. Best of luck, DC. Like others, I'm glad you were given the 
chance for the now or later choice. You'll be missed around here. Give me a 
call if you ever want to make the Nashua to the Bull for Ronnie run. I seem 
to recall owing you (and JC) a few beers.

jeff

    Good luck, DC.  GRATEFUL won't be quite as funny when you're gone.
    
    The future's so bright, you better wear shades.
    
    Hope you get everything you want.

    dead-a-cated!

We'll miss you in here DC!  

I'll be meeting up with DC at Martha's next Monday night(Jun 06) to hoist a 
mug in his honor.  Anyone else want to join us?  We'll be at Martha's on 
Main St. in Nashua and we are shootin' for 5:30.

Maybe we'll see you there....

bob

    Hey, DC,
    
    This is your last day, isn't it?  Just wanted to wish you good luck.
    
    And remember what Monte Hall said: "There are bigger deals to come."
    
    Stay well,
    
    Bud

Yep it is ... thanks!  Things aren't starting off too well; I almost made
it from Nashua to TAY with a PC before I realized I didn't have the property
pass ... went back to Nashua, thereby having to go thru rte 3 construction
twice ... headed back to TAY and got a speeding ticket on rte 495 :^} ... I
think I'll sleep for a few months.

jc

I think he's gone but, hasta la vista DC, whatever that means ;-)

Bob Hapgood, you still planning on meeting him at Martha's this
Monday (D-Day?)  I think I'd be interested, but I've got to check things
out with my wife first.  As long as I give her some notice and promise
not to be too late, it should be cool.

JUM, long time no note!  I was thinking of you yesterday whilst driving
home and listening to WICN Worcester public radio.  Apparently their 
Friday morning Latino Beat program was going to have NPR's Maria Hinojosa
interview Texas's Tish Hinojosa.  Wow, Hinojosa squared!  Due to mentions
you made about Tish, among other things I've heard, I've bought "Culture
Swing" and it is a great album, even if I can't understand 1/4 of the
songs (as they're in Spanish).

PeterT

>Bob Hapgood, you still planning on meeting him at Martha's this

Yes, I am going there after work tonight to meet up with him.  Just a couple
/few beers.  Not late or anything either....

stop on in!  I'm really interested to "re-try" the scotch ale that all the
brewmeisters here said was good at the beer fest.  The last time I  had it
at Martha's it was a brand new recipe and it was too sweet for me. Someone
explained the reason for this is NH beer laws.  Strong beers here are sold
in the liquor store (which never carries them :)....

bob

	i'd like to stop by and toast -DC.
	mite even have a brew while i'm there ;-)
	
	direx from MKO are herewith sought.
	
	jay

Martha's (though I've never been there) is on Main Street in Nashua, a few
blocks north of Headlines and a number of decent resturants.  Not sure of
the best directions, but if'n you're on Rte 3.  You can get off at exit 
4 (East Dunstable) and head east till it ends, which will be the start of
main street if you hook a left.  Probably a mile or two up from there.
I think you can do this from exit 5 too, but then you have to head
down....

PeterT

>Yes, I am going there after work tonight to meet up with him.  Just a couple
>/few beers.  Not late or anything either....

Hey,  I've got a class tonight until about 9:30 at UMass Lowell...
If youse guys thing you'll still be around by then (and conscious)
I'd like to stop by and raise a couple to DC as well...

Now, be honest.  I know you said you weren't going to stay late,
and weren't going to drink much, but we all know how that can go...

Think you'll still be there at 10?

:-)

tim

  <<< Note 407.52 by NAC::TRAMP::GRADY "Into the night, an angel to be..." >>>
>Think you'll still be there at 10?

Not me!  I'll be in bed by 10 :)

signed,
the early bird.

I'll probably be there only for a beer or two.  My wife has requested my
presence by 8:15 so that I can assist in putting the 2 maniacs to 
sleep ;-)

PeterT

Well, I figured I'd try anyway.

I would stop by BEFORE my 7pm class, but based on experience, even
one beer before a 2.5 hour lecture on Economics, has a detrimental
effect on my attention span (not to mention my consciousness).

So it goes. ;-)

tim

    Well, just finished with my TFSO meeting.  Stick a fork in me...I'm
    done.
    
    Like most of the folks who read and note here, GRATEFUL has been one
    of very few bright spots for me at DEC during the past few years.
    
    I'm lucky that I have an excellent new job to go to immmediately, but I
    can't find anything to be happy about.  Too much despair, too many
    people hurting around us.  Too many bad decisions, too many managers
    left to stay and collect enormous salaries with no work to do.  I
    shouldn't be surprised, but this place never ceases to amaze me.  This
    company still doesn't get it.
    
    I only want to wish you all the very best everything.  Good luck, good
    health, happiness, peace, babies, the Grateful Dead...I guess the
    world is still a good place to be.  May all your dreams come true.

    good luck Bud. I'm sure each of us left here identifies with your
    sentiments about the piles of highly paid do-nothing management
    that are still clogging the arteries of this company.

    Bud,
    
    I had a great time working with you in the attics of Northboro.  What
    strange place!  We had a lot of good times.  I'll miss you, so stay in
    touch.
    
    Gone are the days...
    
    Chris 

    Time to add my name to the list.  We've known fhere or quite a while
    now, but aren't supposed to be "officially" notified until 24 June, and
    our last day is 29 June.  Missed my 11th anniversery at DEC by about
    a week (5 July, 1983).
    
    Lotsa stuff went down over those 11 years, but instead of looking back,
    I think I'll look towards the future.  I think I'll be able to end up
    working for E-Mu systems.  They build synthesizers, Digital audio
    equipment, etc.  I'd start out working on a sampler, and then on a
    keyboard to go with it.  Kinda scary, since there's lotsa stuff
    to learn, but it also gives me a chance to work on two things I enjoy,
    computers and music.  There's also the advantage of their offices being
    in the Santa Cruz mountains :-)  Maybe no big deal for those of you
    who got to work in pretty, wooded areas on the East coast, but if
    you're familiar with Silicon Valley, it's a nice treat.
    
    Thanks for all the good times here.  Even though I was more of a reader
    than a writer here,  I still enjoyed watching things go on.
    
    I'll still be reachable via email at [email protected]
    
    See ya!
    John

    
    
    It's good to see someone going on to do something they enjoy!
    Have fun in the mountains John...... 
    Best of luck.

>Jeff (who vaguely recalls that it was John (I think) who was spotted in the

Oh yeah, that explains why I didn't recognize that person.  I have that on
video tape, and I asked who it was in this file, and no one answered!

Good luck, John.

adam

Hmmm, I've got this one on tape too, but at the time was at Prime rather
then DEC and was looking for nethead rather than Dechead shirts.  Any idea
about where in the show it was?  During a song?  Crowd wandering between
before sets?  It's been a while since I saw this and I can just remember
it having some pretty strange crowd wanderings....

PeterT

    Yea, where is it, on the tape? I missed the last song, tape ran out.f

I'm not exactly sure BUT I think it was during the vending scenes they
were showing.  Now don't ask me when that was :)

bob

Yes, it was either before the show or during the set break.  I think it was
during the break.

adam

    Hey now
    Well i am not official, nor am i getting tfso'd, but i guess you could
    call me a dechead, or better yet contracthead..Anyways my contract
    runs out friday as does most of the general temporary work within the
    company..As with my previous job with DEC in Andover, this job has come
    to a tearful yet triumphant end...I have met some kynd folk thru this
    notesfile and would like to meet more of you...Grateful actually makes
    you want to get up and go to work the next day just so you CAN see the 
    setlist from the night before in a show across the country...
    Peace to all of you and your families, be safe and hopefully we will
    see each other on the road...

    Well Folks, the time has come to weigh those things.
    
    This Friday will be my last day at Digital after 11.5 years..
    
    This comes as no surprise to me w/ the way things are
    going in this Company.The last 3-4 yrs for me have been
    very tough w/ all the bullsh5t going on in my group.
    So, this is more of a relief for me..its on to greener pastures..
    I'll will be kinda doing a 360 w/ my life work wise,
    "on my hands and my knees" I will be laying tile/carpet floors
    for awhile and then I have a few options that I will pursue...
    Gonna take a break from the professional life.
    
    But, what I will miss the most is notes and you people..I've
    had alot of laffs,even learned a few things..and met some
    real cool people..when the cards are down, notes is the
    place to go!!!
    
    As we know "Deadheads" are the best people goin..I've been a Head
    for 20+yrs and I wouldn't give it up for nothing,can't :-)
    Jeff C will be my connection to the world of the DEAD!
    thanks buddy. and please folks for me,,keep Leblanc on his
    toes..:-)
    
    So, as I head out the door,,thanks for everything..
    
    Maybe I'll meet you on the run.
    
    see ya in Boston.

Golden Unicorn?

    Golden Unicorn is this joint in Marlboro with real strong drinks.
    
    If you go there, get a Zombie or an Iced Tea.  YOWZA!

    Golden Unicorn....
    the reason "BEST" is spoken

    Later Don, best of luck...
    
    Where's about you be doing this carpeting/tiling thing?  At some
    point we've got to do that to the basement, and that's one thing
    I don't think I'll be trusted with (especially after the last 
    few days ;-)
