I'm Bruce Harper, for a long time the title has been "webmaster." And I've been here since January 2, 1986. The position said, the job will last  "three to six months or until project ends." I'm still here. (laughter) The project never really ended. I was initially hired because the state auditors had written up Virginia Tech because their policies and procedures manual was a one-inch three ring binder that was supposed to be updated by memos and change pages, but that wasn't happening. So sometime in 1985 when Bill Van Dresser, who was the vice president for administration and operations, he was tasked to fix that. Somewhere along the way and I don't know the who or the how, but institutional research had come up with a system to display some of the reports on the mainframe -  enrollment information, demographics, things like that. And someone found it and said, "That could be the way we display our policies and procedures." So the word went out to produce policy meetings, Wayland Winstead in institutional research, was the one that was kinda working on it with Dr. Van Dresser's secretary, and he looked at some of the things and said "We really need someone to edit this information." I had been a newspaper reporter, was working as a technical writer for ITT down in Roanoke. So I answered that ad, got the interview and they decided I knew what I was doing, knew what I was talking about. So I started up on the third floor of Burruss with a dumb terminal and a couple of manuals. So I went through the documents and decided that well, if I need to know how these things are going to look, I need to understand the system. Without a whole lot of computer background, figured out how the thing worked. It was built with Rexx and Ex-edit, Ex-edit being the editor program on the mainframe. So I got the system built, sent documents out for review, got them back, got everything updated, and the system launched on  VT-VM1 and VT-VM2, two systems on the mainframe. And it worked, it did what it was supposed to do. People were able to find policies and procedures, and state auditors were happy because there was a way to maintain all that information.
