A Note from Bob Devich

Sorry, we will be on vacation. The theme should really be baseball because this is the first time the Giants have won the World Series since 1954.

A Note from Steve Leonard

Hi Lou -- Thanks for the invitation to the party. I cannot attend the reunion because I will be in Sacramento that weekend to see brothers of Rich. One of them is running the California marathon.

A Note from Les Daley

Thanks for keeping me on your mailing list. I probably cannot make it two years in a row but will be there in spirit. Please tell everyone that I said "Hi".

I expected to make at least one trip to California this year where I could either come the weekend before or stay the weekend after, but that has not happened (unless there is a last-minute surprise). I did make one trip in September, but it was last-minute and the other people that came for this meeting expected us all to stick together at night. So, I couldn't get away to see old friends. Well, not quite. There was one evening where I managed to slip off and spend a couple of hour with Jan and Bob. My manager is talking about resuming the annual get-together for the group that I work in for 2011. If so, I'll try to find time to get in touch with you.

Sorry, we just moved to Stockton and we won't be able to make it this year. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas get together and wish you the best for 2011.

A Note from Gordon Norman

The market has not been doing very well as of lately, maybe it will turn the corner soon. As for the reunion, I am really tied up here so I will not be able to attend, sorry.

Sorry Lou,
I just can't make it this year. Really wanted to see the group again. Give my very best to all - including you.

A Note from Naomi Handa

Sorry I haven't contacted you Louie... I have been busy moving to Fresno. I don't know if I can make it since this weekend I need to get eveything cleaned out of my house in SJ. Say "hi" to everyone for me. I will talk to you later when I have everything moved and I will give you my new residence info.

A Note from Kim Rogers

Hi Louis,
Sorry for the delay in RSVP. Thanks for the invitation and I wish I could come but we have a birthday party that same day so I can't make it but do hope to make it to next year's. Thanks for organizing them.

A Note from Dennis Noren

Hi Louie,
Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I won't be able to make it because of a family get-together that afternoon/evening. The only possibility would be if I got back in time to drop in late, but certainly not in time for dinner.

A Note from Henry Cordova

Picture

I just got the IDIMS reunion pictures, it was great to see all the old gang again (although I must confess I remembered more faces than I did names).

I retired last year, so I am now free at last of the old grind.

I continue with my writing, check it out at http://sandyjdesigns.com/page19.html

Just in case the word hasn't gotten out, you might want to pass it around...I am now the recipient of a modest pension from Northrop-Grumman, even though I only worked at ESL for 6 years. Apparently, N-G purchased ESL/TRW's pension obligations when they bought the company, and they took the trouble to track me down and advise me of my benefits. Let the others know just in case they haven't been notified.

Give my regards to the IDIMS survivors, and my best wishes for the New Year.

Henry
