Mr. Thornton did indeed found (along with others from CDC) Network Systems. He (Thornton) is now retired from employment here, but continues to serve on the board of directors. I have not seen a publication by Mr. Thorndyke. He did, just after the closure of ETA, have sessions with a local free-lance writer. Supposedly, these were to be formed into a publication; it never occurred, at least to my knowledge.
