Comments from Sharon Butterfield:
The HP 50 Years in Corvallis celebration was a big success.  Not sure of the final count but I would guess 250-300 retirees from all over came, I heard from Arizona, Texas, Idaho, Nevada, California.  I thought I knew a lot of employees at HP but there were a lot of people I didn’t know. Lots of engineers, clean room, production retirees and you name it. They came from all over the site.  It was especially interesting to see the progress 50 years made, from hand soldering in the 70 and 80’s to all the high tech there is at the Corvallis site now.
