Fortran Geezers

Abstract

There was a reunion of the J3/WG5 Fortran old timers, the "geezers", on June 9th and 10th; just before the joint J3/WG5 meeting in Oakland CA. 25 people attended parts of the reunion. 18 were old enough to be true Fortran geezers; many joined the committee back in the 70s. Another 3 or 4 qualified by age to be a geezer, but are still too active on J3/WG5 to be a real old geezer. The remaining 3 or 4 are way to young to be geezers and just dropped by to visit with former colleagues or make new friends.
