Know any Fortran programmers who need a more interesting job?

In 1970, at Goddard Space Flight Center, Space Sciences Data Center, we 
used FORTRAN on a 7094 with a 360/30 for I/O.   But we also used FORTRAN 
on several 360/9x machines, and sometimes APL on time sharing (selectric 
terminal)

I wonder when the 7094s finally got retired.
