Hiya Evan, I have a suggestion, also probably better for VCF-SE, as the guy lives in Florida. His name is Gary Webb, he was one of the original designers of the PCJr system. (He also has the prototype SN#1 of the PCJr motherboard, as well as the engineering-sized schematics for the PCJr.). After IBM, I believe he worked for Hayes (or maybe USR?). He told me some great stories about when the team of engineers were working on the Jr. I think he would be a good speaker, as well as displaying his artifacts. I’ll email you off list with his contact information. On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 11:18 AM Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Love his biography. He'd be great if in the area. If not, maybe for SE

Three months until VCF East. I need to find a keynote speaker for Saturday, May 20. Right now I don't really have any good leads.
Looking for realistic suggestions: people who did something important and live reasonably close.
** Nobody should contact any potential speakers on our behalf. Needs to go through me.
