I worked for Digital Equipment Corporation for quite a while before I realized that DEC's "Cambridge Research Labs" were not in England. md On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 10:08 AM Bradley Noyes <bkn@ithryn.net> wrote:

WLUG's first meeting was in July 1997 in the WPI Library. Maddog was there, and our first speaker was Jim Paradis. We had 17 people in attendance.
I remember being at that first meeting, and it was a welcome change of pace after trekking out the Cambridge from Worcester for BLU meetings. Although now i live out that way and Worcester is a trek.
Among feedback after the first few meetings, i recall Andy telling a story that he received an email from some poor old chap from across the pond who was driving all around Worcester England trying to find WPI so he could attend the meeting. I think after that, the meeting location was amended to include USA.
