From the notes of John Shortt

I found a notebook in my things that belongs to my former boss, John Shortt. It has some great historical context information, like the "NABU on a shoestring" era I talked about, with a hand drawn org chart:

Manager's Baseball was a BIG GAME. 34 segments listed here for uploading, and clearly more not listed:

Are there things in there you wouldn't want public? It'd be fun to have them all scanned to be able to poke through. Obviously there will be a lot of context missing since they're just notes, but stuff like that is fun to look through to get an idea about how things were thought through.

Had lunch with John Shortt, the former Games Dept. Manager, then Director of Content Development at NABU between 1982 and 1985.:

I forum feature from Discourse that I really miss here is the ability to favorite a post. This is me favoriting yours:

That’s awesome! Bet you had some great conversations. Would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall!

Well, we do plan on having another shot with Les Perley, who was Director of Content Development and Operations Manager at NABU.

John would very much like to recover Manager's Baseball. It was a great game.

We're thinking of a reunion in Summer, maybe invite anyone interested for a conference, too.

For instance, here is an interesting page, but I doubt it is everything. Just maybe the stuff we were preparing at the time (from The Shortt Book of NABU, page 21):
