VMS architects

Looking at http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/20th/vms20/sld004.htm which is part of the VMS 20th anniversary celebrations we find: "From the beginning, the hardware and software were planned and designed together. A group known as “The Blue Ribbon Committee” included three hardware engineers -- Bill Strecker, Richie Lary, and Steve Rothman -- and three software engineers -- Dave Cutler, Dick Hustvedt, and Peter Lipman. They simplified early designs and created a plan that would be possible to execute. The fifth design evolution was perfected and accepted in April of 1976, exactly one year after the design work began." So I guess Dave Cutler was there from the beginning of VMS development.
