Abstract
In May 1974, I went with Dennis to the ACM SIGFIDET conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan, my first international conference, for the Great Relational-CODASYL Debate where Dennis would fight for the good guys. After the short drive from Toronto, we went to a “strategy session” dinner for the next day’s debate. Dinner, at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in the conference hotel, included the current and future database cognoscenti and me (a database knownothing). It started inauspiciously with Cracker Barrel’s signature, neon orange cheese dip with grissini (‘scuse me, breadsticks).
