WEKY Picture Page
The Ralph Gabbard and Ron Boone Pictures are courtesy of Max
Highbaugh and Judy Boone. I worked with Ralph and Ron in 1965.
Sadly, both Ron and Ralph are now deceased.
The pictures were taken in 65 or 66.

between the Logitek Remora console surface and the Jetstream
computer. The Audio Vault automation computer and the office network
computer are both mounted in a different room.
