• VACATION
  
  I'm off to Paris tomorrow, 3rd July, with my wife Madeline for a 5 week European vacation.
  
  The site will stay up during that time, and my son Neil will be writing at least a couple of articles a day to keep the site ticking along, until we return on August 7th, just in time for our first win of the season at WBA.
  
  I'll also get on a PC and put in a few articles myself when that's possible.
  
  Ed Harrison.

  Dr. Ed Harrison is a retired IBM Consulting Group Executive who now has time, and lots of it, after 34 years at the American computer company, to write about his lifelong passion - Newcastle United Football Club.
  
  Ed was born and bred in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and watched his first game at St. James’ Park in 1949 as a 4 year-old with his Mother and Father. He was told to look out for number 9 - Jackie Milburn – the great Wor Jackie - and was he fast!
  
  In football terms Ed was a goalkeeper and played for Wharrier Street Primary School and Newcastle Minors (Newcastle Schoolboys Under-11), in 1956 and went on to play for Newcastle Schoolboys and Northumberland Schoolboys (Under-15) in 1959 and an England Schoolboys trial.
  
  Ed was at Newcastle United for a couple of years from 1960 as an amateur, while still at school, and played with Bobby Moncur and David Craig, amongst others, for the Newcastle United Under-18 side (Newcastle N’s in those days), during the relegation season of 1960-1961.
  
  He attended Heaton Technical and Manor Park schools, and then went on to study at both King’s College, London (BSc - Electrical Engineering) and Newcastle University (PhD - Computer Science). He played for Newcastle Universities and England Universities from 1967 until 1970.
  
  But a short couple of years after Ed joined IBM in 1970, he was shipped over to the USA, with his new wife Madeline, a beautiful local Newcastle lassie.
  
  At IBM Ed was in computer systems and network design for his first 22 years at the company and then in his final 12 years was persuaded to enter executive management. where he ended up running IBM's Americas' Network Consulting Group for 6 years from the late 1990s, and was instrumental in forming the IBM networking alliance with Cisco Systems in 1999.
  
  Ed and Madeline live just outside Raleigh in North Carolina. Their twin sons Paul and Neil, and daughter Elaine, are now in their early 30s, live close by, and Neil has carried on the family tradition by becoming an avid Newcastle United supporter.
  
  And one final thing - you can take the boy out of Newcastle but you can't take Newcastle out of the boy!
  
  Howay The Lads!!
