I posted earlier about Scott McNealy, Java, and Oracle Corporation. On the day I met McNealy, the C-Span cameras were rolling, and this image is from the online video archive at C-Span:
Mike Doyle is the National Press Club member who organized the event for that day. Senator George Allen had just been elected to the United States Senate from Virginia a few weeks prior to this photo, and was a guest of Scott McNealy’s. For those who might not know, Senator Allen is the son of legendary NFL football coach George Allen, who is near and dear to all of us longtime fans of the Washington Redskins. I was seated just in front of Scott, with my colleagues and friends who I’d invited, John Peets, and Josh Parreco, a Java guru who has gone on to a pursue a career in the field of medicine – I look forward to visiting Dr. Parreco’s practice very soon. And at the podium was that year’s president of the National Press Club, Dick Ryan, a great guy.
The full video of the original event, titled The Future Of Technology, is at the C-Span video archives, here.
