They Dug me my very own Garden, Gave Me Sunshine, Made Me Happy

Ladies and gentleman, Ken has left the building. A fellow programmer, a compadre in the work life, retires from a life at the computer to a life on the farm. A worker with a sense of duty and practical vision that will be missed.

Over the years we've talked about small town life, tractors (didn't know too much about them till I met Ken), BBQ, Germans, and a host of other things. A pleasant person to have around the office, offering joy to a dreary place.

While we continue to punch holes in firewalls, trying to accomplish impossible connectivity to a mainframe (dead horse....cough cough), he'll be out on the farm somewhere out there by Walburg, happy as can be, beer in hand, brisket on the pit.

Cheers Buddy --
