I went over to the Sprint switch the other day, to work out a dialing issue we were having with roaming customers. As they were giving me the tour, I ran into Brendan Hennes. He was an RA for the OCS group. Any of you guys remember him?

No, can't say I do.

The name doesn't ring a bell. When was he there?

He wasn't there in the Bitware days. He came in sometime during the 95/98 landgrab.

Perhaps he was part of the initial OCS ramp. He became a TL after Carney left. (I left just before he did.) Some where in there. So... early 2000s

I left in July of '00. I really do not remember the guy.

Bio, you are silent?

Brendan was a good guy, very bright

Funny the names I run across that I haven't seen in years lately.

I remember Brandon... with his shock of black hair and Shaggy style goate.

I ran into someone from Spectum durring jury duty. He worked in OCS as well... but I'll be damned if I can remember his name.

I try to blank out the OCS days as much as possible.

Hahah, Not Adobe Brandon, OCS Brendan.

For as long as I was there and as much time as I spent with those people, its a shame we never set up a reunion situation. Its hilarious now that I think back on it. It would have been funny to have voted "most likely to go to jail on a check writing scam," or whatnot. All those faces that don't even have names attached to them in my head. Well, they're certainly more relavent than the people I went to high school with.

Yeah, one of the best overall jobs I had, if you factor in the employee community. I don't think there will ever be another job I get that will be quite like it.

One evening, I parked my car in front of my guitar teacher's house, and some lady started hollaring at me to park my car somewhere else. She was saying that the people in the neighborhood are crazy drivers, and it's going to get hit.

Turns out it was Tammy Devine.

And they DO have Spectrum reunions here in town. At "Annie Fannie's" which is a weird meat market bar, over in the middle of all the industrial park stuff by the Fairgrounds.

I showed up to one last year. I didn't recognize anyone. It seems it's mostly people from after I left. Ben showed up. It was good to see him.

Ben Tibbits?

He works with eddie's wife now.

I'd be interested in one of those get togethers... just to see a few faces from yester-year.
