In 1967, I was trained on the 1401 and its peripherals in Endicott. - in the winter! When I returned to the office, I immediately transferred to a 3,000 square mile resident territory with three 1401s. I loved this system! I could locate a failing transistor and borrow a replacement from an unused circuit. Spare parts were hard to get in north Mississippi in 1967.

My first day at IBM was May 25, 1968. My job was to code key punch sheets so the key punch operators could punch the cards that provided instructions to computers. We were responsible for the 1130 line and the 360 model 20. I spent 25 years with IBM as a full time employee, another 2 as a Supplemental and another 14 as a contractor. Very proud to have been with the company all those years.
