Its hard to
imagine, but plain to see
That Pete
Fayette is a retiree.
Its not from the
emptiness of his cube
Nor the lack of
virtual presence on yours and my ‘tube’
No, its the
glint in his eye, the spring in his gait,
And the general
demeanor of “Oh boy, I can’t wait!”
(Of course all
of us surely would like to relate
To this great
expectation and well-deserved fate.) [Do
I write like Dr. Seuss?!]
Somehow I just
know that our Pete will be fine
As he plays too
much golf in the Sun City shine,
And he finds a
new place to share stories of times past,
With ethical
pull tabs so he need not buy ticket-last.
Wireless, and
Video, Transport and Media
Have all been
parts of the “Pete Encyclopedia.”
But lest I
forget, so I mention it here,
His support he
provided where sane men fear….
Yes, I speak of
the role of BENTAG Co-Chair,
Of Franco
descent, and with little fanfare
For Boeing’s
sake network standards were vet
Amidst IT gurus
with egos, and yet….
Somehow OAs and
DIMs were written and filed
That ensured
order and chaos were reconciled.
He might have
worked longer under a different flag,
But it wouldn’t
have been the same as the one with ‘BENTAG.’
His departure is
certain (since he pushed the 'button,' it is a must!)
I surely will
miss him, on his help I could trust.
But think
positive, all, because, in the end
We can all call
Pete Fayette a Colleague, and a Friend.
Best Wishes,
Pete, on the occasion of your Retirement!!!!!
