I met your ma many moons ago when staying with your grandparents and Marylee had kindly asked me to stay. Calverleigh was unique as were the family. A very sad loss for you and all of your family. I have lost touch with Marylee and lastbspoke to her when shevwas letting her home. Please could you let her know I would love to hear from her and to know how she and Mark are. My e mail is gallery@coves quay.co.uk I hope Mummy is well and that you still visit Devon.

Mr Wigram, as I knew him, taught me at St Aubyn's, Tiverton, for many years. I remember him fondly, though it was way back in the early '60s. What's more astonishing is that you're in Canada. So am I. Obviously your grandfather and others at the school did somehting good and right, since I'm now a professor at York University, Toronto. If you're anywhere close, I'd be delighted to meet to toast old 'Wiggy' (no disrespect, just affectionate recall). You can find me on the York University website, in the Department of Humanities. All good wishes.

There's no sense having bingo fun without a brewski!!! Go for it. 75 and 90 ball bingo games are the best. That's how we roll.

We were good friends for some years but have lost touch since we moved to South West France and my old address book is still packed away somewhere!! She lived at, if I remember right, Higher Ridge Farm, Caeleigh, Tiverton and raised deer. I remember your grandfather and possibly your mother. We all went to a concert in the park at Saltram or Killerton outside Exeter and had a wonderful picnic on the lawn. My daughter held one of the little granddaughters on her shoulders to see the concert. How amazing if it were you!! <br />We are so sorry to hear of your grandfather's death. We would love to get back in touch with Marylee. Last we knew she and husband Mark were in Saumur, France. If you have a contact address or would like to pass out email on to her it would be great. Our email is mandiandjane@gmail.com <br />Wishing you all the best for the new year.<br />Jane, Amanda, Martin and Peter (Nelson)Jane and Amanda (Nelson)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624996584916848193.post-25206314889411193912011-01-06T14:31:57.518-06:002011-01-06T14:31:57.518-06:00My comments/observations after GH 2010 that i had ...My comments/observations after GH 2010 that i had sent to the organizers and attendees :<br /><br />1) Initial Prep :<br />-It would help for people to know what the purpose of the conference<br />is for TW, is it recruitment, brand, something else?<br />-Initial TW brand stuff : table cloth, banner, brochures, etc would be<br />good to have at the conference initially rather than a last minute<br />scramble<br /><br />2)Career fair :<br />-Many people stopped by thinking our advt in the GH magazine was cool<br />and also that the previous year's TShirts were really nice<br />-Would be good to have some interesting stuff for people to take back<br />about TW - pens, caps, anything<br />Many brands less popular than TW had a lot of crowd pulling due to the<br />freebies and other stuff<br /><br /><br />3)Panel discussions<br />Many people stopped by and asked us what consulting was and how<br />exactly does this work ! It would be good to have a panel discussion<br />with a few experienced TW people who have travelled for a while to<br />explain and talk about consulting, pros/cons how travel affects and<br />helps work-life balance.<br />There were interesting panel discussions that i went to about careers<br />in finance and careers in security etc which was very informative for<br />a person like me who had no clue about software careers in<br />security/defense and how it affects our lives.<br /><br />4)Misc :<br />-A lot of people loved the TW University concept and thought that was<br />so interesting and unique.<br />-A couple of people said that they stopped by since they have used<br />many TW open source tools like JUnit, Cruise control etc. It would be<br />nice to have a sheet that lists the various open source tools TW has<br />developed , so people know TW is a fun place and not about a typical/<br />monotonous 9-5 job.<br />-It would help to have some material on TW and Agile. A lot of people<br />had no clue what Agile was and what it means or the fact that TW<br />develops software using the Agile Methodology. Having pictures of<br />people pairing, a photo of the red-green light cruise control build<br />would be good.<br />-TW and community : I attended a session on 'using cloud computing for<br />the blind under the series - Humans and computing'. It was interesting<br />and i thought it would be good for TW to have a note about the various<br />projects we do for the community.<br />-FYI : a)Quite a few people stopped by for internships<br /> b)A lot of grads from MIT, Harvard, GaTech, Purdue...and<br />other top universities came by for jobs. Made me feel fortunate to<br />have a job that i like<br /> c)People who stopped by our booth-whom i spoke with, were<br />mostly CS majors/ CS grads that required a work visa-Asian, followed<br />by locals from Atlanta, and others...Sajayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526621025545430232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624996584916848193.post-20116306338287093262010-03-30T03:45:53.063-05:002010-03-30T03:45:53.063-05:00You really had a nice trip in Calgary huh?Calgary ...You really had a nice trip in Calgary huh?Calgary is nice place,that's why a lot of visitors in this place kept on coming back!!The photos are nice especially the third photo that you posted!!<br /><a href="http://www.osullivanscalgary.com" rel="nofollow">calgary pubs</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624996584916848193.post-5974111545790237872009-11-03T04:52:07.364-06:002009-11-03T04:52:07.364-06:00Simmons!
