Great to hear about a re-union. I will not be able to attend the re-union, I am out of the computer field and now owner of a high-end nightclub & lounge in Historic Betlhem, PA. I wish everyone well.

Jan,
I will only consider coming if you pay me the money you owe me from all the poker games. That way I can pay for my airfare..

This website gave me a bit of a surprise when I ran across it this morning. Good to see some of us from the “old days” remain in touch.

As for me, I left direct employment in the shipping business, and P&O, in 1990 to become an EDI consultant, eventually winding up (in 1996) in the Raleigh, North Carolina area as Senior Vice President of a consulting firm. We eventually sold that in 2001 to a large network, and started a software company, developing data security software. I am still doing that, but also launched a branding and marketing firm with another partner.

Personally, I shed the wife most of you may have known, and found a new one. I now have two granddaughters, 10 and 4 years old. I am also extremely active in the local Chamber of Commerce, local government, and a number of nonprofit organizations around the area.

Should anyone want to contact me, try Crowley3@MindSpring.com for a start. I would not mind hearing from some of you.
