It's been five years since we visited the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Since then, new exhibits have been added and new tours offered. So, it's time for a re-visit.
Join your fellow Alumni on May 14, 2009, to see what's new at the Museum. In addition, we will have the opportunity to hear Judy Estrin,* the author of Closing the Innovation Gap; Reigniting the Spark of Creativity in a Global Economy, as she discusses her new book over lunch. Following Judy's presentation, you will be free to take in the sights of the museum individually or as part of a scheduled tour. The Museum hours are 12PM (noon) to 4PM. Parking is free and readily available. Please join us at noon and follow the signs to our luncheon room. Box lunches and drinks will be provided. The cost per person is $20.
For those Alumni seeking transportation to the museum, we will do our best to put together a select number of carpools. If you need a ride, please contact Tom Anyos at tomanyos@aol.com or drop a note to Tom Anyos at the Alumni Association address below.
