President Donna’s Message

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and

New Year’s Holiday! It seems like the days

just sped by so quickly. We had a wonderful

Holiday Party this year thanks to our

co-chairmen Margaret Watson and Young

Lauw pulling together a great event once again.

Thanks also to their committee for making it

another successful celebration and opportunity to gather together.

Our group managed to collect approximately 106 lbs of food for

the Benton County Food Bank. Great job everyone!!

By the way…if you know of anyone who is not yet a member of

the retiree’s group (or were formerly employed 10 yrs or more

though HP or Agilent) and would now like to join, we have a

perfect opportunity coming up in a few weeks. On January 20,

2012, we will be having a General Membership Meeting, where

we will hear from one of our local managers as well as see a DVD

from Corporate on what they have to share with the retirees. There

will also be a drawing for a new Touchscreen Computer as well

as other giveaways donated by HP. It is also a perfect time for our

members to renew their memberships and pay their dues ($10)

so they can begin receiving their quarterly newsletters which

announces our various activities or they can download a copy of

our membership form online at http://hpretirees.com/hpreco/

join.htm .

I have enjoyed being the president of the HPREC Club for the past

two years; I look forward to passing this roll onto Megha Shyam

our new president. I want to thank all the board members for their

support which is a group effort and I want you all to know that I

share our successes with the rest of this team! They are a

wonderful and amazing group of people! It has been my honor

to work with them.

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you at the General

Membership Meeting January 20th.

Regards,

Donna Mann

Sympathy and

Health News

Since our last newsletter Rita Pinard, our Sunshine Coordinator

has sent cards to several members or family members

recovering from illness and surgery. We have had several mem-

bers who have lost loved ones since our last newsletter

that our club has also acknowledged.

A get well/thinking of you card:

Sent to Marian White

Marian White one of the early HPREC members and

newsletter editor/publisher for many years has

requested support and prayers from our club members.

She has been diagnosed with carcinoid tumors at a

very early stage of development. Treatment options

for this type of cancer are very limited. The number of tumors

and the distribution throughout Marian's lungs are such that

surgery is not practical, but their extremely slow growth makes

it possible to take time to consider what, if any, treatment is

appropriate. They will know more later this week as a to path

forward after they meet with her oncologist.

Sympathy cards were sent to the families of:

Barbara Betts and family, death of her husband Glenn Betts

Betsy Harrington and family, death of her husband Dan

Harrington.

Glenn Betts, 73 of Florence, OR. passed away

on Nov. 12, 2011. A celebration of life for

Glenn was held on December 3, 2011. Glen

was a long time HP employee along with his

wife Barbara.

Daniel Bolton Harrington died peacefully at

Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, he

was 84.

Following graduation from high school in

1945, he served in the U.S. Army of

Occupation in Germany and Belgium. Upon

his discharge, Dan enrolled at Albion College

in Albion, Mich., where he was a member of

Delta Tau Delta, the physics club, and the a

cappella choir. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1950 with a

Bachelor of Science degree in physics with a minor in math, and

he received his Master of Science degree in physics in 1951

from the University of Michigan.

Dec. 17, 1937 – Nov. 12, 2011

May 20, 1927 –

Dec. 14, 2011


Dan's first job was with the Bendix Corporation of Detroit, where

he was instrumental in the development of the Bendix

Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer, and shares several patents.

During that time, he sang with the Rackham Symphony Choir. It

was there that he met Betsey. They were married on March 3,

1956, in East Hartford, Conn.

From 1957 to 1967, he was a product line manager for a variety

of instruments at Cary Instruments, Varian Associates and

Hewlett-Packard Co., during which time he presented several

papers to national scientific associations. In 1977, Dan began

working at the Corvallis Division of H-P, where he worked in the

Users' Library and did usability testing on handheld calculators,

ultimately becoming a technical writer for users' manuals, most

especially the HP-85.

Music was always a huge part of Dan's life. In addition to the

Rackham Symphony Choir, he sang in several church choirs, the

Schola Cantorum at De Anza College, and the Linn-Benton

Community College Community Chorale. A highlight of his

musical experience was joining the Albion College A Cappella

Choir as an alumnus, singing Faure's Requiem over Memorial

Day Weekend 2001 at Carnegie Hall.

Dan will be remembered for his sense of humor, his winning

smile, and his fun-loving nature. Even as his memory dimmed due

to Alzheimer's disease, he maintained his happy disposition and

his appreciative outlook. He was a loving husband, father and

grandfather, and a gentle man who will be lovingly remembered

by his family.

A private interment will take place at Locke Cemetery in

Corvallis.

Our prayers and support go out to all the above, and any others

we may have missed. If you know of someone ill or who has had

a death in their family, please let us know so we can include

them.

HP Announces Organizational Changes Letter from Meg Whitman President and CEO

To/All Employees

I’m very pleased to announce that Henry Gomez will join HP as

executive vice president and chief

communications officer.

Henry will be responsible for HP’s media and industry analyst

relations, executive communications, employee communications,

government affairs, and global social innovation and

environmental sustainability. He will join the Executive Council

and report directly to me.

Henry has 26 years of experience that encompasses

communications and broad-based business management. For

most of the last decade, Henry worked at eBay, where he held a


number of executive positions, including senior vice president for

Corporate Communications and president of Skype. Prior to eBay,

Henry held a variety of senior positions at HBO. He began his

communications career at the public relations agency Hill and

Knowlton, based in New York

Most recently, Henry ran his own consulting business, providing

communications support and advice to clients such as H&R

government and political affairs throughout his career.

Henry has an outstanding track record in communications.

He played a pivotal role in building eBay’s brand during the

critical years following the company’s initial public offering.

And he shares our strong belief that it’s important to be

forthcoming in explaining what HP is up to and why. His

expertise will be extremely valuable to all of us as we work

together to describe our vision and strategy to customers, partners,

employees, and shareholders.

I want to thank Lynn Anderson for the excellent job she has done

as interim chief communications officer. Lynn made major

contributions to HP during the past few months, a period of hectic

change requiring strong communications skills and grace under

pressure. I know Henry is eager to work with Lynn, and her

continued leadership will be critical to the success of HP’s

communications efforts.

Reporting to Henry will be Lynn Anderson, vice president of

Communications; Mylene Mangalindan, director of Corporate

Media Relations; Gregg Melinson, vice president of Government

Affairs; and Gabi Zedlmayer, vice president of Global Social

Innovation and Environmental Sustainability.

Please join me in welcoming Henry to HP.

Presented by First Tech Federal Credit Union

As one of the first financial institutions in the world to offer

online banking to its members, we know how to navigate the

twists and turns of the Internet. Best of all, we’re always willing

to share that expertise with you. Below are some of the best

ways to protect yourself online, and why online banking is such

a great financial tool.

Passwords and security Your finances deserve the strongest password you can create.

While Online Banking is secure, even the best system is only as

solid as your login credentials. To keep your secret password

secret, all you need to do is follow a few simple rules:

Use a long password: Every time you add another number,

letter or character in uppercase and lowercase to your password,

the harder it will be for anyone to get into your accounts.

Write it down: If you cannot remember your password, the

chances of someone else guessing it are almost impossible.

Keep in a safe place.

Change your password every 90 days: Try to change yours

with every passing season.

Update your operating system (OS): Every OS is susceptible

to attacks. Luckily, computer makers and software developers

are always trying to stay one step ahead of would be criminals.

Update your OS every week and your virus protection will do

an even better job

Save time and money If you’ve ever used an online banking system before, you know

how easy, and addicting it can be to check your balances every

day. By knowing how much you have in any account at any

given time allows you to budget better, plan ahead and even

spend wiser.

Another benefit to online banking is the ease of transferring

funds from one account to another. Need to move money from

savings to checking to cover a car loan? No problem. All it

takes is a handful of clicks

Utilize all the tools Features such as electronic notices, online bill payer, e-bills and

more make life a lot easier…and safer. Also, these services

make paying bills and getting them a lot faster. By setting up

automatic, recurring payments you’ll wonder why you spent

hours every month paying bills, licking stamps and writing

checks.

Cut down on postal mail By keeping statements and other personal information out of

your home mailbox, you’re helping to protect your finances and

identity. Think about how much easier it is to break into a

postal mailbox versus your online banking account. All a

criminal needs is a crowbar or master key and a dark night to

get into that outdoor box. Your online accounts, on the other

hand, are always being monitored.

October 13, 2011 Par 3 or Miniature Golf and

Social Lunch at Izzy’s Hosted by Janet Dobbs

A group of avid golfers met at the Par 3 Golf Club, Highway 20

(541 753-6213). Four played the Par 3 while four others went

for the miniature golf, either way they all had a great time.

The retirees that didn't make it missed good weather, good

conditions on the Par 3 and a chance to get outside. We had the

place to ourselves! Where else can you have this much fun for

less than $6.00?

After golf we all met for a no-host lunch at 12:30 at Izzy’s,

waiting for us were a few non golfers who just wanted to join in

for lunch and socializing. A total of 15 enjoyed the day!

November 18, 2011 Social Luncheon New China

Buffet – Thirteen club members joined in for a wonderful

Chinese buffet luncheon Not a big group but we had the room

to ourselves and enjoyed the buffet.

December 4, 2011 HPREC Annual

Holiday Party Co-Chairs: Young Lauw and Margaret Watson

There is not a better way to spend a Sunday in early December

than be with over 120 of your friends celebrating the holiday

season! This is how we spent Sunday, December 4th at the

Adair Clubhouse. Every year we have an annual Holiday Party

with a delicious afternoon buffet to ring in the Holiday Season.

Valley Catering did their usual fantastic job with the

decorations and food, nicely decorated with Christmas lights,

garland, poinsettias and boughs which added to the wonderful

holiday atmosphere. All the tables were decorated with festive

holiday poinsettias.

Everyone gathered together enjoying appetizers, hot coffee and

cider while catching up with each other. For many, this is the

only time they see each other which makes it an even extra

special event. Everyone feasted on a buffet of roast beef,

chicken, salad, potatoes and squash and ended with delicious

chocolate cake. Nobody went home hungry!

During dinner we raffled off presents. The door prize winners

of the two printers were: Ellen Baron and Teresa and

Dan Hubnall. The gift certificates went to Thresea Carlson and

Ken and Linda Parker. We have reserved December 2, 2012 for

our Holiday Party and Young Lauw and Margaret Watson will

again co-chair with their wonderful committee.

Below are a few photos of the Holiday Party, go to the web to

Caring for yourself as you age

One thing you have learned by now is that life is full of change.

As your body and life are changing, how do you take care of

yourself? Eat, sleep hydrate, exercise and connect.

Eat – ―An apple a day keeps the doctor away.‖ This is still true

– so to speak. Your body is a finely tuned machine and it still

needs the right fuel to keep you going strong.

Sleep – Not too much and not too little. Six to 10 hours is just

right. Make sure to listen to your body, and relish those cat

naps.

Hydrate – Make sure you’re drinking enough water. Eight

8-ounce glasses a day is ideal. If this is a struggle, try mixing

a flavored drink powder with the water, with your doctor’s

approval. Just don’t be tempted to replace water intake with

coffee or soda.

Exercise – Even if your body has some limitations, you can

adapt exercises so that you’re still able to reap the many

benefits. Water aerobics, for example, is easy on joints. Be sure

to consult a doctor before beginning any new exercise

routines.

Connect – Physical health and mental health are intricately

intertwined, so it is critical to take care of your spirit. Check out

the local newspaper at the senior center or with friends to find

free events to connect with other people with similar

interests.
