What's the rollcall of employees at the Chippewa Labs
in the June to December 1964 period? I think I can be
sure of:
* Seymour Cray
* Dave Cahlander
or I am already wrong, with Dave being at Arden Hills?
Goal: Looking for a list of people who worked on the
initial version of the Chippewa Operating System (the
one known as the November Reference version).
Thanks,

Dave spent time at Chippewa Falls, I don't remeber the years he was there,
but not all his time was at ARHOPS. I heard Dave maybe currently living in
Chippewa Falls. For software types, I would add Garner McCrossen.
Hardware types probably included: Les Davis, Bob Moe, Dennis Grina, John
Pearson (John currently lives in Chippewa Falls). Others I can picture, but
not name. Bob, Dennis and John spent time later at Arden Hills. John might
be able to give a better list.
