That would have been John Wisniewski who was a VMS Ambassador and got 
the program rolling.  Sadly he passed away in 2004.  We were colleagues 
briefly back in the 1980's working for Hamilton Computers.  I was with 
the Chinese division in New Jersey and he was with the domestic division 
in Dallas.  Gave me my first internals book and a TK50 loaded with 
interesting tools.
