From Ford I moved on to Control Data Corporation, where I was a Principal Consultant for the development group devoted to computer aided design and manufacturing. Since I departed from industry, two of these three companies have gone out of business. I left Control Data Corporation in 1987 to become an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. Canada has survived my departure, but it is only barely still a single country. I joined the faculty at Rice University in Houston, Texas as a Professor of Computer Science in July 1990.
Rice is currently a thriving university, the pride of southeast Texas.
