Just joking with ya! From 1991 thru 1997 I primarily had the duty of reallocating (meaning scrapping, mostly) communications and computer resources from the drawdown. I helped close a lot of bases in Europe (San Vito, Chicksands, Iraklion, Templehof, Hahn, Zwiebrucken, Lindsay, Upper Heyford and Augsburg, to name a few).
Just watched Donna Brazeeeelll(looks like she swallowed a big balloon)say that we have a failed strategy and failed war....uhhh where have I heard that before,these lemmings are so disingenuous.
I remember we talked about this some up in Boston, but can't remember if I told you what my father in law did that was similar his last couple of years with Union Carbide. He was specializing in shutting down their IT operations in facilities they were closing, moving the data off of the AS/400 and other local IT systems. He decided to take early retirement when the alternative was to go shut down the IT infrastructure at Bhopal, India, after the little cyanide incident. He's now living happily with my wife's step mother in her hometown in Belgium.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in about a week. I hope you can make time in your busy ambassador and presenter schedule for this humble little ol' conference attendee <g>.
