Now there is a name I haven't heard in a few years, (Decades)....
How is old Jerry (Hamilton) do'in these days? I haven't heard
of Whatcom Marine Electronics for a while either, and figured Billy
"Radar" Pulse had stolen all their business, and they had folded.
If you see Jerry these days, tell him "Hello" from Bruce Gordon...

Jerry Hamilton left me running the Anacortes shop for Whatcom Marine
Electronics in mid 1978, and went to Ketchekan to try to start a Whatcom
shop there. I haven't had much personal contact with him since. He was a
straight arrow guy with lots of pressures. I, too would like to hear from
him. He helped me a lot, and I never had a chance to thank him.
Whatcom Marine Electronics made a big expansion into Nordic Marine
Electronics with shops and seasonal service reps in several locations. When
the king crab boom started to flounder and Bristol Bay took a dive, I got
some help from several people to separate from them and become Anacortes
Marine Electronics. Which is still plugging away without me.
Jerry Writer, one of the two original owners of Whatcom Marine Electronics,
owns and operates San Juan Electronics. Doing quite well, and surviving a
stone's throw from Bill Pulse's empire in Bellingham.
Me, a "Johnny Come Lately" turned "Has-been".

Oh, don't give "Me" a hard time, He has been around the industry
longer than I have. I used to work with him over at Northern
Radio back in the early 70's. He was an excellent tech and
Poineered, a lot of the Point to Point VHF Paths that are still
in use up in Bristol Bay, between the villages, and Naknek/King Salmon.


Bruce in alaska one of the few with an Aircraft Endosement on
his ticket.......
