I had the pleasure of working and assisting Arnold in many of his books while at HP. Arnold always placed his helpers in his books. It was wonderful to see my name in the index. Fond memories...

I'm thankful for knowing Dr. Arnold Allen. We worked together at Hewlett-Packard as part of the original PTC family. He was always good to me. It was interesting hearing about his lifes adventures. My heart aches for his family's and friend's loss and has joy for his peace.
