2357.0. "Thanks for the memories..." by MUSKIE::ALLEN () Thu May 31 1990 13:04

    As some of you already know, I will be leaving Mama DEC in the next
    week or so.  It is a change of career which I have been contemplating
    for a number of years.*
    
    I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a couple thank yous:
    1) To DIGITAL for allowing us to have this space.
    2) To the moderators; I don't know exactly what is involved in
       moderating a conference like this, but I certainly appreciate
       the effort the mods put in.  
    3) Perhaps most of all, to all the COMMUSICers out there.  I have had
       the chance to speak or write to many of you off-line and have 
       continually been impressed with the quality of people you are.  
       Moreover, the COMMUSIC tapes speak to the enormous talent and
       penchant for fun that exists within the company.  I owe most of
       what I know about this hobby to your comments, ideas, and your
       willingness to share.  Of all the experiences I have had in my 
       five years at DEC, I can honestly say getting into MIDI has been
       one of the highlights (and it's not even "job-related" 8^)!) 
    
    I wish the best for all of you, at DEC, in your music, and in life.
    
    Clusters,
    
    Bill Allen
    
    * For those of you who are interested, I am going back to school this
      fall to get a degree in Family Social Science at the U of MN.  In 
      4-5 years I should be out teaching and counselling families on how 
      to deal with the MIDIholics in their midst :-) .

	Bill Allen's from the mid-west, an area once thought of by me to be beyond the ends of the civilized earth, but now, I have come to understand that it is indeed the center of the universe (except when it comes to buying music equipment). Dan (relocated to St. Louis)

We've been living down theyah (that's New England talk) for about a month now. I've taken a COD II position as a sales support type person.
