	Hi Friends of Grateful,

		Well not much to my surprise, it looks like SLOHAN and I will
	be leaving Digital on Wed. Dec 21st and leaping across the street to 
	Quantum. I still will be a DECie, but as far as I know (at this point)
	I will not have access to GRATEFUL....

		I might pop in when I have a chance or an account on a DEC
	system. I should be getting one, I hope. but anyway, as far as DEC
	and I go, there is nothing left for me at DEC to do :'( and its time
	for me to go out into the real world for the 1st time in my life. I
	came to DEC as a co-op on Jan. 4th '82, and 13 years later I kinda
	feel like I finally finished school :') (13 years of school down
	the drain :')).

		This move is a good one for me as I kinda will be putting
	my foot in the door of Quantum....and I get to do my own thing 
	designing tooling fixtures for the mulit-stack disk drives !

		If Q is anything like DEC this contract should last 5 years 
				:')

	like the song said, you should be able to reach me at;

	FIELDS@SLOHAN.ENET.QNTM.COM

	this is an odd twist, I still have the stress of being a DECie
	but I can't keep the stress relief of GRATEFUL :'/

		Well I'm still here but Im not.

		Take Care
		Peace !

			Chris (your now former Mod)

437.1What, no QUANTUM beer????QUARRY::petertrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyThu Dec 15 1994 19:467
Well good luck Chris!  I'm not sure I understand though (what else is new ;-)
If you're still a DEC employee, won't you have a DEC account you can at least
dial into?  Be seeing you here and there I suppose....


Later,

437.2SSGV02::STROBELJeffThu Dec 15 1994 22:018
    good luck Chris! Since I'm burning the not-quite-midnight-oil, my 
    take is from your note that you'll be a Quantum employee (free java,
    free Tibet!) at a Digital facility therefore no access to Digital 
    systems/notesfiles at least to start.
    
    see ya around I'm sure

    nope I will be a DEC employee but I will no longer be in a DEC site. I
    will have a DEC account but SLOHAN will not be on the DEC netwerk, it
    will be on the Quantum netwerk....confused, I knew you would be :') so
    am I !

437.14Another fond farewellPOWDML::CUTLERMon Dec 19 1994 16:0812
    Chris:
    
    Best of luck at Quantum. We'll miss your presence in notes as well as
    your moderator skills. I certainly hope that Quantum will provide you
    with some way to access notes so you won't be gone forever from this
    extended family.
    
    Hope to see you at a show sometime soon.
    
    Peace & Good wishes

437.15bye....SLOHAN::FIELDSAin't gonna worry my life anymoreWed Dec 21 1994 11:3726
    well Im gonna power down SLOHAN in a few so I guess this is it, I hope
    I can get an account in DEC, as I feel I should have one for admin
    reason, they can not send me stuff cuz Im outside of DEC's netwerk...
    
    anyway,
    
    	if I don't get back, I just wanna say thanks to all of you for
    being who you are.
    
    may god bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true
    may you always do for others, and let others do for you
    may you build a latter to the stars, climb on every rung
    and may you stay forever young
    forever young, forever young, may you stay forever young
    
    may your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift
    may you have a strong fountation when the winds of changes shift
    may your heart be joyful, may your song always be sung
    and may you stay forever young
    forever young, forever young, may you stay forever young
    
    
                    peace my friends
                    love

    Well, don't sound like you're complaining too much Chris ;-)
    Best of luck to you and jen and the player to be named at
    a later date.  So, since the area of Quantum you're going to 
    be in consists of largely ex-Deccies, are you going to strat
    up a Quantum Grateful conference (if there's not one already)
    
    See ya at the shows!

    .........its never to late !
    
    		Well this is it, Im going to give up my keycard and badge
    in a few minutes (after a walk across the frozen wasteland between
    Quantum and Digital) so here is my last post and my last thought...
    
    
    	Over the years and all the people who have come and went here in
    GRATEFUL I've noticed that GRATEFUL always kept on going like that
    bunny....so do me proud people keep this place clean of hate by always
    sharing love and friendship....it really is what this world needs
    
    peace
