When the Lennox opened, it won over the GT Trio’s as the new place to have lunch. It’s right on the corner of Robson St. and Granville St.; a block from the TD Tower. We rapidly became regulars for lunch and befriended most of the staff including Erica. Until the fall of GT, this was one of my main hang outs.

This was the next phase in GT’s evolution; a major staff increase. After the move we jumped from 30 employees to around 60. Some of what would become close friends joined while GT was here: Pam, Erin, Jason, Laura.
This was also where GT has it’s first major staff cut. We lost 25 people that Christmas when Bob Wolfe started as CEO. It was tough but it also crystallized the company and led to a very productive quarter.
Brian started here around this time as well in what was to be our second job together. I really enjoyed this year at GT and I was able to stretch and be challenged quite a bit as I had a chance to do many jobs relating to getting the new PKI department developed.
Although I’d lived away from home before this was very different; it was my bachelor pad, my own space. I loved this condo!
The view was spectacular and it had air conditioning and a dish washer, what more could you need?
After the wild tribulations of L[Axion], this was a welcome change. Though it was another startup, it was also a smaller, more vibrant and infinitely more focused. GT was going somewhere, there was a plan and everyone was pulling together to make it happen. I really enjoyed working with all the people at the IBM Tower and we had a blast.
