Mitch Hellman
Mitch traveled the world for MCI International in the late 1980s and early 1990s as an International Support specialist for MCI Mail - in the days before the public internet, international dial-up access and e-mail attachments. He worked tirelessly training and supporting the MCI Mail distributors and MCI International's offices.

This is bizarre having a blog about the "good ol' days" at MCIMail.

I used to work at the Rosslyn NOC for Mario Loza and Bill Watts then moved to customer support reporting to Suzanne Martin and Leslie Lampe. Officially, I was the technical support specialist. For the most part, I played a big role in getting MCIMail working overseas. Mitch Hellman can protest all he wants but I knew more about getting those modems to connect to Telenet and Tymnet from overseas, especially with Lotus Express. Easn't that codenamed Woodchuck or soemthing like that?

BTW, one the NOC shift leaders is one very successful guy. Luke McCormanck is now the CIO of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
