Rembering . . .

I first knew of Robert Lipe when he was a device driver programmer
for DigiBoard.  He later joined SCO as a device driver programmer.
His hobby was always GPS stuff.  He's now employed by Google, and
melding his skills with his love - GPS and Google Maps.

Moral . . . Follow your heart, follow your love, and you'll end up
where you want to be.

Bob (who has done that, living here with his lovely wife Nada)

PS - Robert Lipe lives in Nashville, TN - far away from Redmon, WA
     or Silicon Valley.
