In July of 1998, you gave a keynote at Internet World in Chicago. I was working for Fermilab at the time and had already been talking to IBM Global Services about a job with Advantis, but your presentation really inspired me. Afterward, I went up to talk to you and, despite the crush of people around you, you took the time to tell me about IBM�s collaboration with Northwestern University and gave me the name of Lee Caldwell. Lee gave me Hari Arora�s name and I ended up joining IBM as part of Hari�s team. Being part of the iCAIR center, first as part of IGS and later as part of the Internet Technology Team, was an awesome experience and I�ll always be grateful to you for the opportunity you gave me. I wish you well in your �retirement.� I�m sure you�ll continue touching people�s lives for the better no matter what your official position.
