DEC had a bunch of locations in Maynard. Headquarters and original engineering was at "the Mill" which was a civil war era woolen mill. I now believe is a senior retirement home, maybe senior condos but the site was huge so I don't imagine they have all of it. It had a big pond with the buildings all around it. I spent a lot of time in building 5 but I don't know how they number them now. Another big location was on Parker Street - that was mostly educational services (I took lots of courses there). There was another locationon Powdermill Rd that was where Ken Olsen and all the the legal and corporate departments had their offices.
I did time in Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Littleton, and Shrewsbury but there wasn't a day or week where I wasn't at another site sometimes in Marlboro and also Nashua. I was 3 months short of 20 years when they sold the hard drive group to Quantum.
Have a great drive!
