Simon Cherry ?

I was wondering if any of your members might have known my uncle, Simon Cherry. A cousin, not his daughter, told me that he worked for RCA during world War II and may have invented something. When I met Simon in the mid 70's he was retired from his two- way radio business in Philadelphia. Thanks. Robert Cherry (VE2AGE) Gatineau, Quebec Canada

Celine seems to be a pretty lusty gal, apparently she wants to be good friends with the entire corps of ExReps.
I am taking some steps to improve security on the membership list, please click on the link for more information. Contrary to popular belief I am not infailable, occasionally, very rarely, I make some sub-optimal choices, and I apologize for any problems that this may have caused. At the same time I feel pretty good that after battling cyber attacks for over 8 years behind the scenes, this is the first one that has been reported. jayr

Changes to the ExReps System
|
|
We have been operating ExReps for over 8 years now, and several times I have asked for suggestions and advice on how we might be able to improve the system. To no avail, too late now puppys, I am going to make some major structural changes to how the system operates, and there is no appeal.
The right to speak out is earned by having something to say, and saying it at the right time.

Looking for Cliff Phillips
|
|
I'm trying to get some info on a Philco TechRep named Cliff (Clifton) Phillips. When we last spoke, 6-8 years ago, he was located in Pawley's Island SC. I've recently found that his number there is "out of service". Cliff was a Network Controller at the Johnson Space Center in the early 60's then went to Colorado Springs as a Civil Servant. Later returned to then Ford Aerospace on the 427M Program and moved on to WDL, Palo Alto. He was back in Colorado in the early 90's and retired there before moving to SC. Any info will be appreciated.
