Ron's retirement from RAND


Ron retires after 43.5 years with the RAND Corporation, most of which was spent as Director of Computing and Network Operations. Now I'm looking forward to many years of fishing, drinking fine wine (no twist caps or boxes), watching Star Trek, Stargate, etc. and spending time with Joyce, family and friends at the cabin.

This is our cabin located in Pine Mountain Club, CA. It's only a 50 minute drive from our home. Yes, we do get snow in the winter.
