Jump in, the water is warm

Bill,

Well you are now responsible for me posting my first time to a blog! Sorry this is a bit late but even though I have retired, I am not getting better about responding to my email.

I know it is hard for many of us to believe you are retiring. I am sure it is hard for you too. From experience, I can tell you it is a great decision, one that will lead to good things for you.

I will keep my comments short and simple. From the day you started working for us on the ESP team, I was always impressed with you. You always stayed focused on doing what was right for "the field". I was continually astounded at how responsive you were to changes, fixes, updates improvements and creative ways to keep things moving forward. I think the best way to say it is this, "you always made the team look good".

HP will miss you, your HP friends will miss you. One of the requirements of retirement is that you have to stay in touch. I hope you will.

You gave us your best and I wish you all the best.

Steve Baker
