I stumbled upon this by accident.  It's a short piece, but pretty interesting for a TSR history buff.  It's written by a computer programmer who worked for a contractor that did some projects for TSR.  It's his account of a visit to the original TSR headquarters in Lake Geneva, right after WOTC had taken over.  He meets Peter Adkinson  and hangs out with him, sees Lorraine Williams desk, Gary's private sauna, meets Jeff Easley in his studio and, (and this is the part that will make everybody HERE green with envy) - he gets to raid the Mail Order Hobby Shop and take anything he wants.  I can't believe this guy's luck!
