After leaving Gordon I was assigned to the East Coast Telecommunications Center in DC, and talked myself into the job of computer operations officer – I didn’t know much about computers, but everyone else knew less. I went from there to the 25^th Infantry Division, north of Saigon, and spent the year as Command Information Officer, running the newspaper, magazine, radio station and combat correspondents.

When I got out of the Army I went to work for the Harvard University Press, and then joined Arthur D. Little as a consultant on new computer publishing systems and the information industry. From there I went to the Washington Post Company, and then to Minneapolis, as General Manager of the newspaper. In 1982 I started my own consulting practice, specializing in the emerging information industry, and did that for 25 years.

It's all been great fun. In the last few years I have been writing a lot. I published four books and am working on another. My wife and I have five kids and four grandchildren, and we live in Ipswich, Massachusetts, about 15 miles from where I grew up. And for all of that, I still remember OCS and the two years that followed as a wonderful period of my life.
