I just spoke to Bob Brodie (the Atari User Group Coordinator) about
a visit to Phoenix. Bob has made a commitment to visit the Phoenix
Atari ST Club on May 12, 1990. I would like to thank Bob Brodie, and
Atari Corporation for alllowing Bob to visit Phoenix.
Also, Bob was very helpful and generally a pleasant fellow to talk to
over the phone. Bob is very knowledgable about Atari products and has
a great enthusiasm for Atari. Sounds good talking to him. When I mentioned
that I was trying to organize all the Arizona Atari clubs, and get them all to
attend his visit, Bob was able to give me a contact for the Tucson AZ Atari
Club. I knew that one existed down in Tucson but didn't have a name for
a person there. Bob told me that Sam Furrow is the contact in Tucson. thanks
again Bob.
I would like to hear from other Clubs about how Bob Brodie's visit was handled.
Is ther anything special that we can do to help make his visit enjoyable?? Did
someone from your local club meet Bob at the airport?? I think that if Atari is
willing to pick up the costs of sending Bob to your club, then your club should
try to make his visit pleasant and enjoyable and that means meeting him at
the airport and showing him around town if necessary. So, what do you all think out
there??
Bob inidicated that he is spending pratically every weekend on the road this
spring visiting Atari clubs. I don't know if this is on his time (and he gets
weekdays off to compensate), but all that traveling shows Bob's dedication to
his job. I wish that Bob will get a good welcome from other clubs. I intend to
do my best to make his trip to Phoenix enjoyable.
so, any other ST clubs out there that have plans for Bob Brodie to visit?? Please
send email.
Thanks again to Atari Corp and Bob Brodie.

Bob's scheduled to be in town (Ann Arbor, Michigan) with a STacy and Spectre/GCR to show off on February 17th & 18th. This is a join venture between our Atari group (WAUG, Washtenaw Atari User Group) and MacTechnics, the local Mac users group. Should be a fun visit. Unfortunately I don't have any of the details on me right now. (After stepping down as VP, I haven't really spent any time with the group anyway. Oh well, So much time, so little to do... [W.
