What is my most satisfying experience related to computers?  It is that my oldest daughter, Ruthanne Shepherd, went into computer programming and is the Data Base Administrator.  Her son, Nathan Jeffords, is a Windows Software Development Engineer for Vipersat in Fremont California, and my other daughter, Pamela Meder, is Director of Operations & Administration at the same firm.  Being the first generation of three generations of Computer Programmers is quite a kick.  I'm sure I wasn't the world's greatest parent, but I must have done something right.
