"In the late 1980s I was the Chairman of the academic Computer
Science Department at Johnson & Wales University in Providence. We
trained programmers in FORTRAN, Pascal and COBOL, Systems
Analysis, etc. I met Mike Labbe online about 1985 -- he had run a
BBS from his home (Eagle's Nest) and we got him to come to JWU as
IT staff. We set up the BBS first as a demo with our comp majors,
and then later when I moved to the Science Dept I used it for what
we would now call distance learning with students in my
Environmental Science and Chemistry classes. It was a great
success and I wrote a couple of articles about it for Educational
Journals. Mike left JWU about 1994. We were inactive online for a
couple years, and then became very early Web users at the
instigation of IT staffer Anand Sampath." - M. McConeghy
