Another Great Reunion!

The 2014 Datapoint / Intelogic Trace Reunion proved to be another great meet and greet of old friends, great conversations, great food, and many people picking up as though no time had passed at all ! Visitor’s mingled and chatted in the spacious party room of the Little Red Barn Steakhouse while servers delivered drinks, snacks, or a delightfully delicious meal.

At times, so many people were gathered around chatting you found yourself jumping from one conversation right into another!

We retired the fund-raiser Raffle Ticket drawings this year in favor of a Silent Auction and the lucky winners made off with everything from a signed Tony Parker poster to a Stir-Fry Wok kit. (We’re already thinking about next year’s collection!)

Kudos to Dan Price for rescuing a Datapoint ARCNET Hub and bringing it to the party! We’re forwarding to Austin Roche to support his Datapoint Museum effort.

Of course, not everyone is able to attend reunions here in San Antonio, and we extend warmest greetings and heartfelt best wishes to fellow Datapointers around the globe. We’ll collect event photos as soon as possible and upload to the viewing area.

As the crowd thinned and the festivities wound down, we bade our farewells and promised to see each other next year.

A special thanks to the management and crew at the Little Red Barn Steakhouse, they were wonderful, accommodating, and helped make the event a pleasure for all.

Bittersweet Reunion News

The reunion was a great success this year.  Many thanks to all who helped organize and, of course, all who were able to attend.  For a complete recap, see our latest reunion post.

However, we are sad to report that Tom Peiser passed away Sunday, October 19, 2014.  Tom started the Datapoint Annual Reunions over 12 years ago when former co-workers met at The Hangin Tree Saloon in Bracken, TX.  We are all grateful to Tom for his consistent effort over the years to expand the invited list of former employees.  As the event increased in size and celebration, Tom remained the honorary President and attended the reunions every year since the beginning.  His obituary will be published in the Express News Friday, October 24, 2014.  Tom’s spirit will be felt at future reunions.

Visitation will be held Sunday October 26, 2014 from 5:00-8:00 PM at Colonial Funeral Home, 625 Kitty Hawk Rd, Universal City, TX 78148.

The funeral will be held at the Colonial Funeral Home Monday, October 27, 2014 at 12:00 PM, with burial services at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, 1520 Harry Wurzbach Rd, San Antonio, TX 78209.
