356.0. "The future is here for this child of countless dreams!" by MRNGDU::YETTO (the future is here) Tue Jun 15 1993 15:14

Well, to some of you this is news to some of you it isn't....  I too will soon
be joining the ranks of ex-Digits.... 

I have accepted an offer at the University of Rochester which will allow me to
pursue my goal of finishing up the schooling I need to become a college
professor and will also put me within one side of one tape from my favorite
Dave!  :-)  I spent last week finding a place to live and ended the search
with a Buffalo show ... (started the week with two Giants shows .. what a week!)
Anyway I found a great place in Farm country .... and I mean Farms!  I really
love the area - the job is directly in line with a goal I have always had and
the university atmosphere has been calling to me for over a year now!  All in
all a good move with the exception of all you wonderful people I am moving 
away from.

Anyway, I am here till the end of next week (the 25th) and then I'll be NY
bound. I will be on the net, don't know where yet but when I do I'll send mail.
Anyone ever heading out that way for a show or whatever is welcome to look me
up for a crash spot or even just a drink!  My new address is 44 Student Lane,
Brockport NY 14420 (I'll be living within a mile of SUNY Brockport).

Despite the obvious, and other reasons, I have for leaving here I have mixed
emotions about this move based on how much I know I will miss you all!  Life in
Massachusetts and DEC has been full of all sorts of wonderful things because
of many of you in here - I'd thank you but why,.. you were all just being
yourselves.  So instead of thanks I'll say I love you and will miss you all!
And of course - no goodbyes but more like until our paths cross again, because
they will ... at the very least in Albany next Spring!  :-)

Congratulations Lisa.  Best of luck.  So what will you be teaching?
(This sounds like a graduate assistant program?)  Calculus? or 
perhaps Effecting Repairs with a Sewing-machine like object ;-)

    Lisa, one of the many DECheads I've always wanted to meet but failed to
    do so.  Perhaps at a SlipKnot or Dead show sometime in the future. 
    I've always enjoyed your entries and you'll be missed.
    
    You know how one can form a mental picture of a person based on
    conversations or noting?  Well with all the "short" jokes directed at
    you and the occasional times when you'd get worked up over a topic
    under discussion, I pictured you as being a lot like my wife. 
    Something like a petite, sweet person with a big heart who can, with
    the right provocation, take on the world over something she really
    believes in.  I admire those qualities.
    
    Best of luck,
    
    Marv

actually for the time being I will be managing any and all Vaxes at the 
computing center.  Eek don't say it - I already know ... that means I am
going to be a customer.  Right now I plan to finish my degree in Math, despite
the fact that I am a woman.  :-)

thanks all for the nice words!

     	Lisa, you'll be missed and probably noticed missing more than once. 
     It's sad to see such an important person in the file leaving, but it's
     great that your working toward your goal and it looks like things are 
     working for your good. 
     	Congratulations on your new position and all the advantages it's 
     bringing with it. I find it very hard to believe that I won't see 
     you again so I'll believe it's just going to be a long time. Until 
     that time and well after it too, I wish you only the best and continued 
     great (grate) success!!

     You're wonderful people Lisa!

		The Road goes ever on and on
		  Down from the door where it began.
		Now far ahead the Road has gone,
		  And I must follow, if I can,
		Pursuing it with eager feet,
		  Until it joins some larger way
		Where many paths and errands meet.
		  And whither then? I cannot say.

356.28But you're still short :-)CSLALL::HENDERSONFriend will you be ready?Tue Jun 22 1993 12:0112

  Good luck to you my special friend.  Thanks for being there during the last 
few years when things were a little crazy for me.  I'll always cherish the
laughs we had in here and the chats we had off line and the fun at shows.  And
though my life has taken another pathway on which I've found the peace and
happiness I've been searching for, I'll always look back on these last few
years and smile when I think of you..

Before I head out tomorrow I wanted to take some time for yet one more mushy
emotional note ... what can I say, I am a mushy emotional person. :-)

Anyway first and foremost I wanted to thank everyone for a really good time
Friday night!  It was pulled off flawlessly right to the part where MJ made a
wrong turn on the way there!  :-)  I love my new shoes and plan to wear them to
the Tina Turner movie this summer! And I am still laughing thinking of some of
the things that people have been saying to me for weeks as part of the
"conspiricy"!!  Fog I am most impressed that you kept this secret, I know that
was difficult for you!  ;^) 

Seriously, the evening was very special to me, as are all of you.  There aren't
enough words to show my thanks and love to everyone involved!!  Just know
that there is a place in my heart for each of you.

There are many pictures in my mind over the years that just make me smile up a
storm ... despite feeling like a Kodak commercial they are some of the times of
my life.  I am grateful to have such a wonderful collection of memories, and
asssociated smiles .. you can never have too many smiles!  We are all fortunate
people to have so much to smile about .. from within.  Enjoy that folks, and 
make it a habit OK!  You are all wonderful Wonderful people and have, at the
very least, that to be happy about!

I love you all ... Always!!!

> Bye, lisa. I think I'll miss you the most...

	don't be silly, I plan to mail you (US mail) skittles and various
	other sugar fixes.  :-)

Thanks all for the wishes, here and in mail - I haven't had time to reply to 
them all but I appreciate every one.  I have made my rounds around the building
and am ready to head out as soon as I find my boss - just one more 'see ya 
later' to my favorite group of Deccies ... You!  :-)

Later ...
