To which Doc Shipley replied:
This is a huge thing. I cannot imagine how much time
and energy you've
invested making this happen.
Congratulations on a successful transition, and thank
you so very much
for your efforts!
Doc's words are most heartily seconded by me.
Preserving this collection is so important. Knowing that it is becoming a part of
HP's corporate archive hopefully assures that it will all be well cared-for, as well
as documented and shared in the decades to come.
Thank you, David, for all of your efforts to make this happen. It had to be a monumental
task to make all of the arrangements, not to mention simply maintaining it all for the
years after Jon's passing.
Most sincerely,
-Rick
