Next Warehouse Cleanup Day
by Jeffrey Brace 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hello everyone, Summer is here and it's getting hotter, therefore I think less people are inclined to work in a hot warehouse. I'm setting a date for the next warehouse cleanup: Nov. 5. My plan for this day is to clear out the vines and small trees behind the new warehouse section. I'm hoping by this date that there will be less likelihood for poison ivy to be alive. If someone has a chainsaw that we can borrow, then that would be great. I may still try to plan another day where we take care of things inside the warehouse. That would likely be in early October. In the meantime, there are smaller things that we are doing to get things ready like sweeping, getting items out owned by other groups, etc. We are also starting to look into ways to repair windows, and soffits, etc. as well as getting new doors. We are also thinking about what we want to do with the floor to make it better. Thanks!

Bob Applegate
by Herbert Johnson 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

I'm saddened to read today that Bob Applegate passed a few days ago. I knew him through our common interests in 6502/6800/SS50 worlds. It's commendable that despite his long illness, he worked and supported his customers in that community. We traded some 6502 software just a month ago. He was a thoughtful person. He'll be very missed. Of course my deepest sympathies to his family. I see people want to reach out to his family. I have no authority on these matters. But the way these things usually work, someone with some authority in the vintage community, works with the family in some way, and provides some means to forward condolences and notes of appreciation and convey other information. And in some cases, there's later some kind on line presence for general notes of sympathy, when final arrangements are made. I trust those closest to Bob to work these things out in coming days, and to inform us accordingly. Regards, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.

Very nice guy, > very sad to hear of his passing. This is extremely sad news. Bob was a great guy, I liked him very much. I have a few 6800 and 6809 systems built around the boards he designed. He did great work, both in the past at Franklin and more recently on his wonderful Corsham Tech systems. He will be sorely missed, but his work will live on. RIP Bob Applegate. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Thanks for posting this. Bob was a great guy and so knowledgeable. I met Bob several years ago when we were both vendors at VCF East. I had many nice chats with Bob at VCFs & bought many of his kits & boards. I was always impressed with his attention to detail. He will be missed!

I was testing a box of digital photo frames in the CDL main room. While I was away, someone pulled one apart and broke the speaker wires. Had I been ASKED FIRST, I would've GLADLY GIVEN AWAY SEVERAL that were broken or needed further investigation. -- jeff jonas

Swap Meet Success!
by Jeffrey Brace 12 Jun '23

12 Jun '23

Thanks to all who volunteered or participated in the swap meet. >From my point of view it was successful with a good number of sellers and buyers. It was nice to have the fire museum volunteers sell food. The chili was wonderful! Thanks also to the Sea Cadets who managed so many parts of it. Thanks to all the VCF volunteers who helped me setup and breakdown. It was an exhausting weekend for me, but well worth it as I saw many happy people. Next Swap Meet is October 28, same place and same time! Thanks!

Successful Repair Workshop
by Jeffrey Brace 12 Jun '23

12 Jun '23

We also had a repair workshop this weekend. Many who got treasures from the swap meet brought them to the repair workshop to fix. Lots of happy people it seems. Very crowded because of new people and those coming after the swap meet. Many also went to the "bonus swap meet" at a member's house where many treasures were bought. We are planning another trip there at the Next Repair Workshop which is July 8 & 9. Signup is her: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TJJxdL8skd7giR1miP-5AKMHwoBSqU7gse-… Thanks!
