We are pleased to announce that the plaque and its Hebrew translation are
to be placed at Intel's Israel Development Center (IDC) in Haifa, Israel,
with an unveiling ceremony Sunday September 14th, 2025. The ceremony will
be a small event at IDC, conducted largely in Hebrew. Among the attendees
will be several members of the silicon design team of the late 1970s.

 Intel's local save-the-date graphic indicates several notable speakers.
Also on the list is a name known to many recipients of this note. Rafi Nave
was the project lead of the 8087 silicon design team.

This dedication comes a year after the 50th anniversary of IDC, making it a
perfect opportunity for Intel and the local hosts give warm thanks to
everyone who contributed to the fabulous success of the 8087 Math
Coprocessor.
