1987: CABLE TV: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
CABLE TV HAS SEEN REMARKABLE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES OVER THE PAST DECADES. AS I RECALL, MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WAS IN AN ARTICLE TELLING OF NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT PLANNING A TEST PROJECT LABLED AS "PAY TV." THE ARTICLE SAID IT WOULD BRING UP TO DATE THEATER MOVIES TO THE TELEVISION SCREEN. WHAT AN EXCITING CONCEPT THAT WAS WAY BACK THERE IN THE 60'S WHEN I THINK IF FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT.
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
