In memory of Thomas J. Kirk

All of us at MARCH are sorrowed by the death of Thomas J. Kirk for he sure seemed like a kindred spirit by his immense collection of vintage computers, electronics, telephony, amateur radio and military gear.
His library is an amazing resource for all the technical manuals. Even the newsletters extend back to issue #1 of the PCC and other pioneers of the home computer scene.

Many thanks to Bruce & Marge Prager for donating this wonderful collection to MARCH.

The donation list is growing:
