3/11/2016 Ray's @-sign Concept Testerby Camille Depesa, wife of Bob DePesa, BBN Colleague
My deceased husband, Robert (Bob) DePesa worked at BBN for many years and had the opportunity to work with Ray who was a mentor to him. I remember one day when Bob came home and told me that a friend and employee of BBN had an interesting concept in technology -- that of course being the @ sign that he wanted to put to a test. Bob was asked by Ray if he could test it out on him. So Bob was a proud recipient of the testing of the @ sign and felt honored to had been one of the first to test it out, I did not know Ray personally but from what Bob told me about him I believe he was one of a kind, he did his job so diligently and without praise and created what is now used worldwide. He is a true hero and I know he will be sorely missed by all that knew him.... Comments are closed.
