Gee, when I interviewed with the DEC team doing the Ada compiler, about
half -- Ike Nassi, Larry Shaffer, Earl Van Horn -- were former
SofTechers. Earl probably left before the DOD-1 work got started at
SofTech, but not Ike or Larry. I think Ike is now running an Apple
research center in Maryland and Larry is a member of the Intermetrics
Ada-9X group.
Also, Alsys, being a rock-throw away, was rotten with ex-SofTechers.
TeleSoft got a lot of the SofTech Microsystems refugees, including their
CEO. I happen to think that we form a pretty distinguished alumni/ae
group; Tri-Ada meetings are practically SofTech Reunions.
