[SIGCIS-Members] Retirement announcement

[Dag Spicer]

Sheldon: You helped me on my Master’s thesis in 1995!

May I just say to the community that Sheldon has been an incredible resource for so many of us historians of technology, providing access to and interpretation of rare and important Bell System materials for decades... and in such a friendly, generous way. This isn’t just me speaking: I’ve heard the same thing from multiple other historians as well.

So THANK YOU Sheldon for being such a vital part of our ecosystem for so long… as the Labs went through changing ownership regimes, you were a steady presence for all of us and we are truly grateful.

I leave you with a fun quote...

“If we don’t tell the truth about ourselves, someone else will.”
— Theodore Newton Vail, President of AT&T and the Bell System, 1878-1919.

All the best!

Dag
