Their goal was to find and map the NAZI RADAR units. @ 3:30PM The history of Camp Evans' parent installation, Fort Monmouth, NJ, begins in May 1917 when, as part of its wartime mobilization, the Army authorized four training camps for signal troops. One camp would be located in central NJ - that which would eventually be known as "Fort Monmouth," in honor of the soldiers of the American Revolution who fought and died at the nearby Battle of Monmouth. The Army Signal Corps trained thousands of men for war there, and built laboratories that worked on pioneering technologies like air to ground radio. Though the base was supposed to be temporary, it wound up outliving the war. It was for decades known as the "Home of the Signal Corps," and, until its closure in 2011, the base was still innovating some of the most significant communications and electronics advances in military history - many of which would save lives on the battlefield and also be adapted for civilian use. By Monmouth University Professor Melissa Ziobro, the last Command Historian at Fort Monmouth prior to the base's closure in 2011, InfoAge trustee, and author of Fort Monmouth: The Army's House of Magic (2024).

Social Media Manager needed for VCF
by Jeffrey Brace 29 May '24

29 May '24

Andy Diller is resigning in a few days as the social media manager. He has done a great job the last few years bringing our social media to a higher level. Let's all thank him for his service to VCF. He is moving on to other vintage computer pursuits and didn't have the time the volunteer position required. It's time to pass the baton. We are in need of a new person to take this position. If you are interested, then please contact me directly. I'd be happy to explain the position to you. Take care!

Gordon Bell, an architect of our digital age, dies at age 89
by Herbert Johnson 22 May '24

22 May '24

> Time is a cruel foe that none of us can escape. I suggest a focus on the departed, and their legacy and the people still here who benefited from Gordon Bell's legacy and lament his loss. It's that legacy that survives through time. If we preserve the association with Bell, his legacy continues. That's a means to deal with the passage of time. As an old person myself, I consider my legacy and otherwise manage the time I have left. Bell did considerable work in establishing a surviving legacy of the work of DEC which he founded with others; and preserving his own works. His efforts and DEC led to our world today of information technology which ironically preserves his own legacy: if his successors keep it available. Regards Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
