Friday, 14 December 2018, will be my last day at IBM.  For the curious,
I started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months
since I started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office.

It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies
(diving, amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the
County that can use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel
like working (if any).

I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon
Friday.  I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work
phone number, because they arrive as e-mail attachments.

Hanging out here has been quite instructive and usually fun (smile), so:
Thanks, folks.

All the best, everyone.

John, I will certainly miss you and your wisdom. I regard you in the same area 
as Walter Farrell (RACF) and John Erhman (Assembler).

About all your good posts here, you were to me like that "Babel fish" (in The 
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Everything you said was very understandable 
and informative as well educational. Who will now replace you and educate all 
of us on IBM-MAIN?

You must enjoy your wisdom and all your hobbies. May God bless you and your 
family on your new journey.

Thanks again!

The big question is whether you'll be able to stay away from here. Or maybe
resubscribe quietly with a Gmail address, and toss in the odd comment. Some

I started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months 
since I started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office.


It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies 
(diving, amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the 
County that can use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel 
like working (if any).


I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon 
Friday.  I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work 
phone number, because they arrive as e-mail attachments.


Hanging out here has been quite instructive and usually fun (smile), so: 
Thanks, folks.


All the best, everyone.

[Farley, Peter x23353]

Many thanks for all the help and information you have offered here over these 
many years.  As others have said, you will surely be missed.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

(Traditional Irish blessing)

Peter

Re: Thanks For All the Fish

John,

Ditto to all that others have mentioned! 

IBM-Main is going to take a knowledge hit in your absence. Who do we *itch 
about issues relating to ServerPac now?  

Seriously, all the best! Feel free to stop back here from time to time, even 
just to brag about retirement.  41.5 years? Sheesh! It takes me about 15-20 
companies to hit that total. Granted, a lot as a consultant/contractor gigs, 
but still, your tenure is very impressive.

Drop me a line after the new year. I have an old tube radio from my grandfather 
that needs a tube or two replaced. I have had it in my possession for 30 years 
now and done nothing with it. If you are interested, let me know.

Bob

Congrats John.  You have long been a great advocate for issues that come  up on 
this forum, and trying to make sure that the right folks within IBM see it, and 
help if they can.   Enjoy retirement!

**CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL**

Friday, 14 December 2018, will be my last day at IBM.  For the curious, I 
started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months since I 
started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office.

It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies (diving, 
amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the County that can 
use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel like working (if any).

I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon Friday.  
I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work phone number, 
because they arrive as e-mail attachments.

Hanging out here has been quite instructive and usually fun (smile), so: 
Thanks, folks.

All the best, everyone.

Hi John:

Congratulations on your retirement.  Dave and I will miss you, but I'm 
sure that you'll find plenty to do.


May your retirement be long, healthy and productive.  SHARE and the TDMs 
won't be the same without you, sir.


If you care to share your private email address with me I'll drop by 
once in a while.


For now, I wish you a joyous holiday season.  You're one of the great 
ones John, and your absence will leave a hole in the community.


Sincerely,
Bob
