Hi Ed!
From the phone-call that we had, sounds like Dick's Last Resort is one fun place!
Maybe next year it'll be my turn...scratch that, I'll go no matter what. I'll take PTO (Personal Time Off) and pay for things myself if the trip isn't funded. San Diego ain't a bad place to take a vacation anyway...
One thing from your post that interests me, and it always had me wondering (hoping that Kathy has her TechNet ears on), is that I served with a Aviation Ordnanceman with the last name Palumbo...I think his first name was Michael, but not really sure...been a while ago...maybe a relative of theirs.
One thing about being in the military, you remember military people that you served with by their last names...the people that you got close with, you learned their first names.
Just curious if there's any connection. The Palumbo guy and me served in Patrol Squadron-50 and did a deployment to "Dodge" (Deigo Garcia) back in 1985...

Hi all,
Just wanted to drop a line to let everyone know that the Apex lunch thing did happen. We met at the IPC booth, and coincidentally, Mr. Bev Christian, Ph.D. was browsing the bookstand. Also in attendance was Graham Collins, Kathy and Joe Palumbo with their sales folks, Arlene and Evie (not technetters), Don Roy and Scott Kramer and myself. We "invaded" Dick's Last Resort and everyone agreed that it was "a hoot!" The rudest, most irreverent service this side of the Mississippi. It was a pleasure to meet these folks in person, and I urge that next year, we do the same. Maybe a few more of the infamous technet participants will show up (nudge, nudge, Steve and Earl!)
Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Ed Popielarski
