I joined Intel in 1986 and retired in 2006.
Smoking was still permitted in a corner of
the cafeteria in the original Mission Campus
building. Since I smoked at that time, I'd
go to the smoking corner frequently. Bob
Noyce did the same. In my first encounter
with him, he asked if he could join me and,
impredded, I said "sure!" He was easy going,
unassuming and a charming conversationalist,
ready to talk about many topics other than
semiconductor ICs. I remember thinking after
that first encounter that I was indeed lucky
to have joined Intel. -Ryan Hoover |
