Dear friends,

Thanks so much for your kind messages over the last week, and for the visits. I'm sorry that I've left so many e-mail unanswered but really appreciate them.

I'm writing to let you all know that, as Danny asked, we're going to have a beer bash as a wake for him. It'll be at the Computer History Museum Saturday, August 31st, at 5 p.m., right on the front patio. Being a beer bash, we don't plan any particular ceremony or speeches; just get together, talk, and have a good time.

I've done my best to find as many e-mails as possible—including all those from the festschrift a few years ago, which Bob Sproull very kindly sent on to me—but I'm sure I've left off some important people and I'd really appreciate it if you can help me spread the word.

Thanks again for all. I'm sure Danny misses you all.

Best,

David
