			Summer BBQ Picnic at Barrie Hunter's home in Marlboro 
			Saturday afternoon, Aug 18th - 3 to 8 PM 
			  
	The picnic was our big survey winner, so here it is!  
	We'd like to thank Barrie and Anne Hunter for hosting another of 
	their popular lake picnics on August 18th. Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, etc. were cooked on the grill in the 
	backyard by master chef Jack Mileski. 
	Barrie and Anne's back yard has a lovely pond which we didn't 
	get to enjoy due to the slightly inclement weather, but it still provided a 
	lovely backdrop.   
	Here's a link to the 
	event page for summary and photos (thanks as usual to Rod Sutherland).

            Saturday, October 19, 2013: Luncheon at the Sudbury Senior Center with 
			showing of Digital_Man/Digital_World    | 
			
			 |  On 
	October 19, 2013, from 2-5 PM, 35 DECconnection members and friends gathered 
	at the Sudbury Senior Center in Sudbury, MA for a wonderful afternoon. The 
	DVD entitled Digital_Man/Digital_World was shown, after which 
	refreshments and visiting was enjoyed by all. It was wonderful to have so 
	many folks gather and to continually be dedicated to "the Digital culture". 
	Many stories about personal experiences were shared. Digital Equipment 
	Corporation continues to live on through our retirees.   Each 
	attendee was given a glass mug that was part of the Gordon College 
	festivities when the Ken Olsen Art and Science Building was opened for use. 
	There were many left over from that event and Dan Tymann gave several to me 
	for distribution among our DEC retirees.
