We had many disagreements about what the Computer Group was doing and how it was being directed. However I still respect the effort that he put into the Labs and the effort to have US Supercomputers be the best. He also devoted or caused to be devoted a terrific amount of energy to the support of the CompCons in San Francisco. Clearly he was an important mover and shaker in US Computing history! Ed Feustel
