Dear Professor Bvrne,

My name is James K Hurley, I have a background in Telecommunications and more recently in various electronic and computer related technologies which have evolved in recent times. I am employed by Telecom Eireann.

Walter O’Brien has expressed an acute interest in securing a place on a Computer Science Course at your University, I recommend that a place be given to him for the following reasons.

Walter is a mature, intelligent, articulate young man with an avid interest in computers. Over the last four years he has shown a keen interest in a wide area of Computer Science ranging from past and present computer technologies to Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems.

Initially Walter exhibited his BASIC Programming prowess using an Amstrad 464 machine on which he demonstrated Sound, Graphics, Animation and Machine Code routines. Last year he upgraded to an IBM compatible machine and having mastered MS-DOS in a very short period of time, is now rapidly becoming proficient in both Turbo C and Turbo Pascal.

I am confident that given the opportunity to further his computer studies at Trinity College, Walter will excel in his chosen field.

Yours sincerely,
James K Hurley.
