In February we got back into the swing of things. Jon's team hosted our DOD Fellow, Keith "Ghost" Butler's, promotion to Colonel, followed by Company Day, and then Jon went to SLAM at Cavello point.
Ghost Promotion
On February 3, we hosted the promotion ceremony for our DOD Fellow, USAF Colonel Keith "Ghost" Butler, to full Colonel. Keith's family, frients, and colleagues were all in attendance.

DOD Fellows Company Day
Immediately after Keith's promotion ceremony, we hosted a group of Keith's fellow DOD fellows at Autodesk Company Day
Mictopod
At the end of January, Mickey McManus ended a six-year visiting fellowship at Autodesk. Mick moved on to new adventures but he definately left a dent in Autodesk. As a parting gift he gave Jon a Micktopod - a 3D printed statue of Mickey with an embedded Alexa that answers the kinds of questions that we might ask of Mickey. What a great way to keep Mickey in our hearts and minds even if we are not graced by his physical presence.
SLAM - Cavello Point
Mid February, we held Autodesk's Senior Leadership Meeting at The Lodge at Cavello Point, right at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. Sunrise and sunset afforded great views of the bridge and the city.
Ghost Flight
At the end of February, Jon took Colonel Keith "Ghost" Butler and his son David on a bay tour, landing at Hayward
