This is the March 4, 2017 audio recording of George Watters, Jeff and Jinnie Truthan.

George M. Watters, Jr. was the original designer of the VIPS (Vocational Information Processing System) and VARS (Vocational Adjudication and Rehabilitation System) programs developed by Ability Information Systems, Inc. (AIS) from the early 1980's until 1988. CAPCO: The Capability Corporation (also JobQuest in 1995) assumed control of AIS products then through the year 2000. SkillTRAN LLC then acquired the software and hardware assets from CAPCO/JobQuest and has continued delivery of online services in various formats since then. SkillTRAN has completely rebuilt the code for its newest cloud-based services, ever indebted to the foresight of George's sound, original concepts. May George rest now in eternal peace.

Jeff prepared a tribute to George that was shared at George's memorial celebration on October 27, 2018.
