Congratulations to Dave Garr, Marketing Director at PalmSource!
No, he did not just create a brand new version of PalmOS. Nor did he talk Bill Gates into doing advertisements for PalmOS. But he is causing quite a stir, nonetheless, in the San Jose area with a very creative marriage proposal to his new fiance, Elizabeth Pearson, a local documentary filmmaker.
In true Silicon Valley marketing form, Dave spent four months creating the web site
DaveLovesElizabeth with a declaration of his love, his proposal and a lot of humor. Elizabeth said "yes," and the rest is history. Now the rest of the world is learning of the story and it has even just appeared in the
Mercury News newspaper. (Free registration required.)
Check out the full story at his web site, and don't miss the rap video! If you want to share in the good wishes, you can add your congratulations in the blog comments available towards the end. Looks like one very happy couple. Our best wishes go out to Dave and Elizabeth for their continued blessings together!
Edit: Just a small clarification... despite what the newspaper article says, it turns out that Dave is in IT, and his correct title is Director of PalmSource.com.
