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.

I was at the Telecom 91 show in Geneva and recognized by some of the guys from the London office. By that time, I was working for ITU and was introduced as the Lotus Express expert. eeeewwww!
Wow, I just found this online filling an application for SBA.
I also worked at NOC in Rosslyn in Bill Watts group. There were an African American in that group i forgot his name. I saw picture of some people that I remembered like Vint, Bob and Libby.
