IBM Lunch Bunch

For a few years, a group of IBM folks have gotten together for lunch at various times through the year. It probably started with the group who played dominoes (42 and 84) at lunch time at IBM. Then, when we moved, we would eat in the atrium overlook on the top floor at 1503 LBJ. At the lunch table, we would solve "all the world's problems", or at least those that were important to us! As we move to officing away from the office (OTTO - Other Than Traditional Office), we missed those times, and especially the problem solving that took place, so we would arrange to go in to the office on an irregular basis just to have lunch together.

As more folks had left IBM through retirement, layoffs, other jobs, etc. than remained as IBMers, the group expanded to include folks who had worked together in various IBM Education groups through the years. Since I (Patti) kept the distribution list, it has pretty much been anyone who is interested in joining and willing to give Patti their email address!

Today was our get-together - there were 10 of us to join together and talk of old times and current times with IBM and with our lives. Always fun to get to see colleagues and reminisce!
