I do remember Lyza at intel, and I recall she didn’t stay long, but not her catch at our wedding. I also remember she was an excellent writer. Where did she go later? BTW, let’s switch this conversation to email at whmacken@gmail.com
One of my regrets is that I did not tell some of my friends of the difference they made in my life. I've tried to remedy that by writing to some old friends over the past several years. I've written, for example, to several men who enriched my life by readily accepting me, a new student, at their high school. I owe that same appreciation to you. I came to Oregon in 1984, relocating from Washington, D.C., with no job and knowing almost nobody. It was your decision to run some stories I wrote in The Oregonian's Forum section that set me on a new path, that led to thrilling jobs as a reporter at the paper for 10 years and then as Communications Manager at Intel Oregon, the state's largest employer, for 15 years. I have never forgotten your kindness and support. Bless you and I wish you well.
Thank you, BIll. I know you remember my daughter Lyza working for you briefly at Intel, but do you also remember that she caught the bouquet at your wedding?
