Flamingo and lunches outside sound right to me also so I do believe now, it was probably '74. I started with IBM in November of 1975 so it probably was 1974. I know for sure the training was actually at TSI but I do recall the hotel and crossing that bridge to the restaurant. Maryann Fisher was in the class for one of my classmates and I think there was an Ellen someone. That's all I can recall at present. Gosh I am beginning to feel so old, in years anyway.

I must have been there some time in 1974. Linda did my orientation. John did my instruction. We made ice cream at Gail's house and had wonderful lunches of avocadoes outside. It was winter back in NJ so this was quite grand.
