I enjoyed doing the interview, my 10 years at overlapped with John's long career there. Although we never met then, we certainly knew folks in common.

@JohnMashey

John, I've been reading and enjoying CHM's oral histories as a major downtime feature this past year.

I'm not sure how I didn't realize you were working on these. Here's a belated thanks. And to the rest of the crew doing those.

Volatile human memory: do backups while it's available!

Thanks!... Recall I'm a Trustee there, I've been doing oral histories for years (including of course, my own & being in one for MIPS).
