Events that crossed my radar and memories, these many years later. This effort is aided and abetted by reviewing Wikipedia’s listings of each year’s events, in this case, 1965 and 1966. The Sound of Music film debuted in early 1965 and we probably saw it that summer when we returned to the States for vacation. We also …
Barb and I take a 3-night mini-break to the Hyatt Chesapeake Resort in Cambridge, MD. Barb expressed interest in having a beach break this summer, so we kicked around various options.

My workplace from 1989 – 2001, until the buyout by Spirent in 2001. In the summer of 1989, I was recruited by a headhunter to leave Atlantic Research Corporation, just as it was being acquired by Telenex, and join Hekimian Laboratories to become product manager of its new T::DAX digital cross-connect switch.
