Bob Adams
Forgive the confusion, my fault. Since registering with the original founders of the roster many years ago, I literally never used the system. I am now motivated to get involved with the "Exreps" organization having just recently come across your web pages.
I wanted to know how to go about entering information under the COMMENTS heading of the roster.
I realize upon reflection that most likely for obvious security reasons we give you the data for recording/entering. Entry should start; USMS, United Nations, Philco Corp, Philco-Ford, Ford Aerospace, Communications&Systems div of Computer Sciences.
Expertise Radar, Telecommunications, Satellites, Earth stations, Security Systems, Counter-Terrorism& Espionage, Anti-Eavesdropping, Cyber-warfare. I am still active in SEA, Indonesia, Mid-East and Africa.
Thanks for your time and effort Jay - Bob Adams

I ran upon your web page when looking for some listing of employees for Phico during the WW!! era. One in particular that I need information on is William Harvey Mayhan. He was a Engineer for your company and was installing the Radar system he helped invent for the military on one of their ships when it was called to active duty. Although this has been quite some time ago, surely there is a "company" record on his employment some where. He is my uncle and I am doing family research on the Mayhan family and any information you can help me with is GREATLY appreciated.. Thank you

Joe Salute

Hello Jay: I am Joe Salute, an Ex "Philco TechRep." (I don't believe we have crossed career paths, but . I dusted off exerpts from and old resume(attached) to see if you remember any.)

I was stumbling around the internet and ran in to your ExRep web site. I am so impressed on what you have done with the site....a far cry from the crude beginning I kicked off many years ago that was picked up by Roger Wolf.

You have really have taken it where it needed to go to sustain the history of the contribution of the men and women TechReps who provided techincal support for the varried Military mission over many years. The "camaraderie" between TechReps during their assignments continued far into their retirement years.Please note my new email address and I will be a more frequent visitor to your site. Thanks again for the tremendous professional effort you are putting into this.

Another Note From Frank Creaser

The same 4 star AF General that was in the Far East was later assigned to be Commander of Air Defense Command where Philco had about 100 or more Tech Reps.

One day, Bob Herr our Philco VP and I made a call on the General who always felt he was a bit superior to common folks. When we met ; the General said to Mr.Herr-----"Do you realize that I command the Organization that provides this great Nation with 15 minutes warning of any penetration of the Air Space around our Country""

Mr.Herr responded as follows "That is great Gen.P.---However I am not overly impressed, During WW 1 --- I was a forward observer and with my field glasses and the horns in my ears; I could provide at least 30 minute warning of any incoming German Jennys."

Gen, P quickly switched subjects True Story

From Frank Creaser

I was stationed in the Far East in the late 40's and the CG of FEAF was a rather "hard ass" 4 Star who was determined to stamp out VD amongst his Forces. He rated his Field Commanders on their success and ability to eliminate this disease from their organizations. However, his Commander in the P.I continued to make poor marks.

As a result, the CG of FEAF flew to the P.I and roused the Commander out of bed and they drove to the village of Angelees for this was the "red light" area. As they pulled up in front of one of the Squali huts, out came a GI. The General said "son--do you know what the rate of VD is in this area"??

The GI responded------"Yes suh---it is $5 dollars fro enlisted men and $10 dollars for Officers"" True story

Sorry, you can ignore our previous message. We didn't realize this was not a website just for the Tech Rep Division of Philco/Philco Ford. We aren't interested in all the other, competitor companies who had people working as tech reps. Thanks


Jim,

If you check under the about button, ExReps was started by Joe Salute of Philco, then Picked up by Rodger Wolf. When he stopped publishing in 2002 I kinda took it over.

Over the years most Reps were not fortunate enough to be able to stay with one company, and in fact Philco changed many times, and was finally sold to Loral, and sold again to Lockheed Martin. I think my own case is pretty typical, I worked for various divisions of Philco long enough to be partial vested in retirement, however to stay employed I also worked for BFEC, Marconi, Page, and a host of other companies over the years.

There was an organization, ExRepsUS, that was limited to Philco divisions. However they dissolved a few years back, they were based in the SF bay area and sent me a copy of their mailing list to add to the site. This kinda brings up the 900 pound gorilla in the room, the old guys are dying like flies these days, so all of the single company community boards are going away. Support areas for former Reps from a single company, or a single project, seem to be going away as the maintainer is no longer able to keep them going.

We do attempt to keep track of the ones still on the air on our links page. I run ExReps to support all the people who have worked in the field in the past, and to provide a switchboard where you can connect with those who you worked with in the distant past, no matter which companies they worked for.

I am sorry that this is not your cuppa tea, do you want me to remove your address from the mailing list ?

Ed Hess

My name is Ed Hess edymarww@telefonica.net and edymar02@gmail.com and I am in your register. I had some contacts recently that alluded to your postings of photographs and home locations.Our home is at longitude 3.807518972477339 latitude 40.00261339557413. This is on the island of Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. We also spend considerable time in Phoenix, AZ.

Following my years on DEWEAST Project, I came to Spain with General Instrument Co. to inaugurate the Menorca repeater for the AFCS MEDCOM in 1965. The CTSP position was converted to a DAFC engineering position in '66 and I remained on this site as a GS-11 until 1975. I later returned to the MEDCOM and worked in Greece (Boeing Services), Turkey(Holmes & Narver) and ultimately returned to Menorca in 1988 (Page Iberica SA). Those jobs were to operate in parallel with Sat links and ultimately close down USAF Comm installations in Spain, Italy, Northern Greece and NW Turkey.

I attach some photos of me and the Control console at DYE4 in the 60's. I also worked at DYE3 on the ice cap of Greenland during 1962, 63 & 64. I left the DEWEAST sector in 1965. Between what I have and many other pictures gleaned from old pals and miscellaneous sources, I have quite a collection of interesting shots.Note the '06 shot of DYE3 (abandoned and nearly buried in the snow). For some strange reason I was especially fond of the Ice Cap. Regards, Ed Hess (At Work)

Note from the SysOp, Ed you can post your own photos by snagging a membership in the forums area and uploading them to the Gallery, if you want I will create your own Album. You are on the ExReps Map, you will have to use the little hand to drag the map over to spain, click on the satellite view if you want to see your Island

According to my Mom and Dad, Mr. Knight did a lot for us when I was a kid whiled Dad was TDY and I'd love to touch base with him or his family. Generally, I'm looking for any of Dad's and my uncle's former bosses, classmates, coworkers, students, etc. - Thanks

Bert Kortegaard - Philco '52-'54 I just stumbled across the Ex-Rep roster and see several names I'd long ago forgotten.

Your hook-up is a great idea. I left Philco to go to MIT as my GI Bill was about to expire, but I really enjoyed my time back in those days when America was the best country there was, we were the best tech-folks America had, and our assignments couldn't have been bought by millionaires. Bert Kortegaard, Philco '52-'54

If you browse the reference url(my autobio, necessary to help authenticate my Korean War site) you'll see several links to my Tech Rep days.(e.g., you, and possibly other members, might enjoy the description of my first day with 606 AC&W back in '52)

As a antenna designer and ham radio operator, I really think these publications are of high quality and have a valuable historical perspective on antenna applications on the government/military side. If you could help me locate volume 2 or any other Philco antenna related training materials I'd be most appreciative.

I also spoke to you once & you pointed me in the direction of contacting Lockheed Martin, who bought out Philco Ford Aerospace. I am still having difficulty getting in contact with this company or the correct department for this issue. Could you perhaps help me any further with getting in contact with someone who would have any information pertaining to this? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I am trying to help Mrs. Newton due to the current circumstances since Dennis' death. If not, I appreciate the help you have already extended so far. My contact information is the same but I will repeat it here again for you, just in case. Thank you very much & have a great weekend! Sincerely, - Ken Newby leverage@lvcm.com, (702)498-2882

Ron Bardy - Stumbled across two websites for ex-tech reps a couple of weeks ago with some old names of people that I worked with years ago with Philco-Ford in Thailand and Iran. I'm wondering if these websites are still active or not? I tried to add my name to the lists but haven't noticed any kind of updates. Also, saw a mention that a close buddy, Mitch Lawson, and a couple of my former supervisors (Jerry Antonaglia and Frank Mullins) had passed away. Always thought that I would run into Mitch one of these days on Patpong in Bangkok but now appears won't be happening. Tried to email John Mack Brown for more info but his email addy is not a good one. Would you happen to have any more information about Mitch? He always seemed to be a very healthy guy when I knew him but that was a lot of years ago. Now retired and living in Udorn.

I have a limited amount of time to hunt for stuff on the exrep site, so am I frigging stupid because I can't seem to find a place in exrep where I can plug in my personal profile??. Not that I have anything great to say... Thanks, Tom Gilliam/Repguy

  • John Mullany  My listing is ok, but under comments I am shown as New .Please show that as Philco Ford, ITT-Worldcom, Metrophone ,Bell Atlantic. Thank You.

  • Wilson Caselli  I was with the Philco-Ford group out of Willow Grove, PA where I trained on the AUTODIN ADMS message switching system, then spent about two years (1967-1969) working on the Philco 102 computers at a Philco installed site in Pirmasense Germany. Upon returning stateside, I was trained on the Philco-Ford OCR Mail Reader system (an attachment to the Burroughs LSM (Letter Sorting Machine), then spent about two more years in Boston, MA at the Boston South Station US Postal Annex maintaining and modifying the machines. My wife and I now live in Charlotte, NC, and I am about ready to retire.

  • Larry Barnhill  ITT-DCD, Page Communications, Federal Electric - I worked for a short time for Page in '65, on a missile project in Southern Germany. Bottom of the food-chain, so to speak. I didn't last long though, because of some managerial practices which I didn't approve of. Before Page, I had been working on the USNS Vanguard out of Cape Canaveral and had seen the winds of change (cuts )coming through, so I quit that to go to Page. After Page, I was picked up by ITT-DCD and spent a long time with them. Then Federal Electric for quite a while, then a company called EPS. I quit EPS back in 1999 and applied for this CACI position, and I've done very well here in the last five years. Don't know where I'll go next, but then a Tech Rep never does. Nice to see such a site and I'm glad a Friend pointed me to it. Best Regards, Larry Barnhill
