Re: Irv's GTK Stuff
David,
I have ceased to actively read either the Open Euphoria or the Euphoria
forum, and have been spending what language efforts that I do make these
days on the Icon family of languages, mostly Unicon, though I find Converge
to be a really fascinating "idea". Where are you spending your efforts
these
days. Searching back through the forums, I noted that the last post that
you
made from your government location was at the end of 2001. I assume that
you either quit posting from there, or that you have sought employment
elsewhere. Your talents should be welcome almost anywhere.
At the beginning of December, I am returning to California for a week or
so to celebrate the wedding of my eldest daughter in San Diego. That is
where I married her Mother in 1971, after I had left the Navy. After the
ceremony, I intend to run Route 1 up the coast to SF where I matriculated
at the Navy BEEP school at Mare Island in 1969. From there, I plan to
drive east to Denver to see my other child, and then back to Ingram to
my home. I would be honored if you would allow me to buy you lunch or
a cup of coffee as I pass through your abode. If not, I will understand. I
doubt that I will drive to California again in my lifetime, but you can
never
be sure of these things.
I do hope to hear from you from time to time, as I believe that you are
capable of contributing some interesting things to our shared field through
your energy and capability.
