The Adager MemoCube committee has decided, UNANIMOUSLY, to award Denys FOUR
original Guatemalan vintage Adager MemoCubes: One for him, one for his
wife, and one for each of his children.
Denys, in his infinite modesty, did not let us know -- the sneak -- and it
took a sleuth to find out about his worthy missionary work in NT-land. Bob
Brown also gets a Guatemalan Adager MemoCube.
Now, if someone can point the standard publications (Computerworld, Golf
Digest, WSJ, People Magazine, Fortune, The National Enquirer, The
Economist, etc.) towards this little Denys Gem -- or equivalent -- for the
education and edification of the unwashed masses, that would definitely
earn another 18-year-old Adager MemoCube AND a bottle of 50-year-old port
with my personal compliments. In fact, come to think of it, I might as
well fly that person (and that person's significant other, if any) to Sun
Valley first class from anywhere in the world to drink the port at my home
as my family's guest(s).
Vintagely yours,
