The Peter Ivanov interview with John in =E2=80=9CUnix Review=E2=80=9D, = 1985, notes two sabbaticals by then. After writing the celebrated Commentary on the UNIX Operating = System in 1976,=20 Lions was asked to spend two sabbaticals at the Labs. This comment in 2000 on =E2=80=9C9fans=E2=80=9D from Rob Pike says John also visited in 1989,=20 but sadly his work by then had been affected. Anyone know when the other visit was? Presumably 1983 or 1984 if John took a semester off every 5 years. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D In AUUGN Oct 1995, V16 #5, there=E2=80=99s a collection of emails, an = =E2=80=98interview=E2=80=99 with John PDF pages 17 & 24 = =20 Berkeley Tague says in 1978 he invited John to work with the USG. then He wanted to come to Murray Hill for his sabbatical so it was a = win/win situation.=20 He spent two or three summers at Bell Labs over the years=20 and supplied us with many of his graduate students=20 for sabbaticals and permanent employment.
