Mark’s Retirement Party

Mark organized a party to celebrate his retirement from FileMaker/Claris, gathering together old and new coworkers at K1 Speed in Santa Clara for some electric go kart racing.  The go kart racing was fun but it was really great to see everybody again!

I rented their provided cameras for the first two of our three runs.  The first run wasn’t captured (they didn’t start it properly) but here’s our second run:

FileMaker and Benihana

Another one of our semi-traditional, usually end-of-project, FileMaker team lunches at Benihana in Sunnyvale.

Here’s an older one from 2007 (same location, but the wood has since been painted over white):

But here’s the original.  This is the team picture we took for Glenn’s farewell dinner in May 1996:

Misc FileMaker Lunches

Just some miscellaneous shots from lunches with my coworkers at FileMaker.  The first set is just lunch at FileMaker up on the third story deck – hiding from the scorching sun on an unusually hot day:

And this second set is just from a couple of lunches out in the area – one with Clay, Paul and Simon at a local deli and another for dim sum with Stephen, Andrew, Frank, Albert and Clay:
