Editor's Note for the z/VM 5.4 Edition

In June 2008 our long-time z/VM Performance Report editor, Wes Ernsberger, retired after more than 39 years of faithful service to IBM, many of which he gave to z/VM and its predecessors.

In 1785, Benjamin Franklin retired from his six-year post as American Minister to France. Appointed to fill the position was none other than Thomas Jefferson. When Jefferson arrived in France, the French Foreign Minister, Charles Gravier, comte de Vergennes, asked him: "Is it you who replace Dr. Franklin?" Jefferson, himself a genius statesman, replied, "Sir, I am only his successor. No one can replace Dr. Franklin."

And so it is with you, Wes. Best wishes in your retirement.
