[SIGCIS-Members] The Computer Museum, Boston

[Len Shustek]

Thanks, Paul.

For the 35th anniversary last year I wrote this blog about TCM-to-CHM history:
  http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm/computer-history-museum-celebrating-35-years/

At the end are pointers to these papers about the merger of my effort 
to start a computer museum in Silicon Valley with Gordon's desire to 
keep the legacy of the Boston museum alive.

The road was sometimes bumpy, but the outcome has been good.
