I kept in touch with John during his career and will miss him greatly. djf http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_22157811/newark-man-killed-east-bay-bicycle-crash "John Pickens moved to the Bay Area as a teen in about 1960 and then headed south for college at UC Santa Barbara. He and Melinda married in 1970, moved to Newark in 1976 and their family has since grown to include three children and four grandchildren. In his ongoing, roughly 45-year career in computer technology, which included work on the internet precursor ARPANET, Pickens was most recently a "distinguished engineer" for Cisco Systems, according to his LinkedIn profile. A colleague at Cisco, David Yates, wrote on the profile: "He is intelligent, precise, hardworking and a great to work on a team with." Pickens' wife said her husband's organs and tissues have been donated to help others. The family has not yet set the date for a memorial service." ------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
