Re: Clarify in the old days

Fond memories indeed. You guys are making me homesick. IT
department was busy but fun. Two building moves and crazy employee
growth. Lots of change (including Mike Martin's hair) and good co-
worker rapport. Some of the best of times.

Not sure why, but I was just thinking that working at Clarify in late 1995 was the best of times in regards to working anywhere at a job. Working with Bonnie,...
