March 08, 2010 Joe Calise, joe.calise@bt.com Al Citro passed away about 12 years ago. I had advised/informed all that knew Al in Piscataway and NY. I see a few names on the web site that I may reach out to just say hello. I worked at 60 Broad Street from April 1976 thru December 1976. I was one of the lucky DPTs that was relocated to Piscataway; very early in the development of Piscataway site. I still worked under Pete Theodore and while at Piscataway I was promoted to Supervisor. Back then Pete's responsibly consisted of ADI and CTS. We started to get in a number of private switches as well. ADI/CTS were the first message handling switches that RCA went to an outside contractor to program; it was a real blast and I learned so much. It was a wonderful time and the people in Piscataway were like family to me. I got to spent time with Al's former colleagues while in Piscataway as well and they made me feel like I was part of the RCA family from the very beginning. Bob Foglia, Tommie Devane, and Joe Muscles, to name just a few took good care of me. Oh how I miss those days Philip. Everything was so much simplier. Kind Regards Joe |

Thursday July 23, 2009 From Anthony (Tony) Scandiffio Well guess what? I could not dodge any more bullets. It is time for me to bend to the winds of change. The old dinosaur is going out to pasture. Early retirement is starting to look pretty good. My claim to fame began in 1957 as a messenger in ES office and gravitated to 60 Broad St. In 1958. From there to the HATED CT shop as a "permanent". Moving on to the electronic shop and finally to The Switching area on 5th floor. From there I made my way to Piscataway in 1975 and found a hole to hide in until July 24th 2009. Now after 52 years total I am taking the package, and officially joining The "Ole Fart" club. It ain't so bad. Respectfully, Anthony M Scandiffio VERIZON BUSINESS Manager |

Glad I found your web page. I came across Wade Nielsen's name with your members list. I worked for Wade in Los Angeles from 1978 to 1986. I still hold some great memories from then. As I am approaching 60, I am having trouble finding the right place at GE to begin the process to receive my pension. Along with some help there, I'd love to find out how to reach Wade. My email address is denhur49@yahoo.com. Thanks so much! Sincerely J. Dennis Hurs |

Hello everyone. I came across this site by
accident while doing an internet search for
something totally different. I never knew
that it existed. What a great site. Looking
at the pictures of those that I grew up
knowing because of all the years my father
worked at RCA and LOCAL 10, and those
people that I myself eventually worked with
for my 5 years (1980 - 1985) at RCA, brought
back a lot of great memories. I was also
saddened to see that many really good people
have passed away. I know that if my dad was
still alive he would have enjoyed looking at
the pictures and the posts on this site. RCA
really was a fun place to work. Ali Rashid, if you read this, please drop me an e-mail. Joe Cardinale |

Hello and best wishes for good health and happiness to all my friends and co-workers at RCA Global. I spent 38 happy years in the Check dept., Mux dept., Phone Room, and Service dept. and retired on Feb. 28, 1986.
Sunday, March 08, 2009
While I did not have the pleasure of working for RCA I learned a lot from my father, and the few times I was able to spend a day with him at work. My father loved RCA and his job. He always thought well and enjoyed those he worked with.

Wow! What a surprise this was for me to find this page on the web! I'm Donna Famieano, used to work for Roger Lewis in the Engineering Dept. @ 60 Broad!! Just seeing some of those old faces made me smile :) I had SO much fun working at RCA back in the day. I would really love to get in touch with Ray Zimmerman, but the e-mail is apparently bad. If anyone out there remembers me, write me @ Bl4ckH34rtNY@yahoo.com!!! I'd LOVE to hear from you! Friday, January 09, 2009 Here's Lee Wilson (wilintecms@cablelynx.com). JHust got a note that my membership has been canceled so I thought I'd better check in and see if I can get it fixed. NEVER REALIZED IT UNTIL NOW, BUT IT SEEMS I HAVE THE HONOR OF BEING THE FIRST CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS GUESTBOOK. The site has come a long way since then and I visit it pretty often to see who is where and other news. It brings back a plethora of the fondest memories of many old friends and associates. You couldn't help in my day but to think of Golbcom as an extension of your family. There was a closeness that made it a wonderful experience. To the old gang I wish you well and hope that this finds you in good health and happiness. Lee Wilson Thursday, January 08, 2009 Hi everyone Eddie Cassone here checking in for the first time since I left RCA Globecom in 1982. Thank God I'm still talking up a storm and have been in touch with Sal Iacona. Sal had asked me to see if I could get John D'Anella's information posted as he had passed away in February 2001. I have sent many emails but never seen any postings nor any reply. If someone could have that posted I would appreciate it and so would Sal. Thank God at 75 I'm still able to get around and better yet still talking (nyuk nyuk nyuk) Great to see the pix I can be emailed at ijanowitz@yahoo.com 73"s to all Eddie Tuesday, December 30, 2008 hello my name is john bugliaro my grandfather was patsy bugliaro ,i am doing a family tree. can you send me any info on my grandfather and uncle angelo please email me at eagleharley56@aol.com thank you Sunday, December 28, 2008 Dear Mr. Robert Lundquist, I am trying to find out if there is still a licensee of the small ceramic "Nipper" statues, but the information is elusive. Could you help me with this? I worked for the Sarnoff Labs in the '80's. Sincerely, A. P. Gershman art.gershman@verizon.net Thursday, December 25, 2008 To all friends past and present -- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May 2009 hold all good things for you all. Bob Hackett bobdahack@att.net Saturday, October 25, 2008 I enjoyed my 27 years at global. It was a pleasure working with the Japanese business community for so long. In case anyone is wondering Quick America Inc. has a WEB site and a sales office in Manhattan. I am retired now and enjoying life. Best Regards, Bob Giraud Wednesday, October 01, 2008 My name is Jim Naughton. I have just recently discovered the RCAG web site. It's wonderful, and thanks to Phil Rauso I have returned to the "world of the living". I started in NYC in 1946 and retired in Los Angeles in 1986. 40 years of memories. Sorry to see some of those I worked with have passed on: Cappy, John Patterson, Frank Walker. Perhaps some of your might remember me. Regards Jim Naughton jjn9546@verizon.net Friday April 18, 2008 Greeting to one and all. Hope all my friends at rca are well and happy. Harold Zemon rca from 1945 oct. to June 1980 Service dept. Sunday August 05, 2007 From Walt Pioli I retired from RCA after 37 years and have always been grateful for the opportunities given to me at RCA, starting as a messenger (Nr 174) at HF branch office. After a military interruption of two years which included 18 months overseas, I held a variety of jobs which included Automatic Operator, Sales person and so on. Subsequently, RCA (Bob Angliss) gave me a job that allowed me to travel around the world for ten years, and boy did I have fun. My fondest thoughts, however, are those of the friendships I have made with the RCA folks that have offered me their guidance, friendship and affection during my 37 years. I finally retired, ten years ago, after ten years with GTE (now Verizon) and now live in the San Diego area of California and I am still having fun. My good wishes and best of health to all our RCA colleagues. Walt <waltpioli@cox.net> Tuesday May 29, 2007 I just had the chance to browse the guest book and found that I have honor of submitting the first entry! It has been a very long time and I read with sorrow at the passing of so many of the dear friends from my days at RCA. I,like so many others, feel like we were a "family" and not just co-workers. I have kept in contact with a few. Mainly Don Stackhouse and Stew but I have the fondest of memories of so many that it is too long of a list to try and include you all here. I'll just say best wishes to all and hope our paths cross in the future. We retired to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 2005 and recently finished building our new home on Lake Hamilton. It's a great place for retirement, so come on down! The door is always open and the boat is progammed to some great fishing spots! Good health and many happy years to all old friends. Great job Phil and son. This site is a very meaningful place for a lot of great people and we owe you so much for making it possible.

| Monday, October 09, 2006 It is with deep regret that I must inform you that Vern Wellington passed away this past week. He was recovering well from the first operation to remove a tumor from his brain. Unfortunately while improving greatly for six months the tumor grew back. After removing the second tumor he was very weak and that aggressive tumor came back again. We have lost another great friend a true gentlemen, just one class act.

Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you had about our Dad.
Great Kills resident Richard Persichetti, 58, a retired phone company manager who was cherished by his family, died yesterday in Staten Island University Hospital, Prince's Bay, after a long illness. Born in Brooklyn, the avid New York Jets, Rangers and Mets fan graduated from William E. Grady High School in 1965. He and the former Grace Crocco were married in 1968, after they met in a candy shop in Brooklyn. The couple settled in Great Kills in 1979. For 38 years, Mr. Persichetti worked as a manager for WorldCom Inc. in Manhattan. He retired in 2004. Taking trips to Atlantic City, fishing and cooking a variety of holiday dishes for his family were activities he enjoyed. Mr. Persichetti was a parishioner of St. Clare's R.C. Church, Great Kills. His children remembered him as not only a father but a friend. They said he brightened the nights and days of his family -- including his 10 nieces and nephews -- with many jokes, He was a wonderful grandfather to my two sons, Nicholas and Matthew, said his daughter-in-law, Laura Persichetti. For the 14 years I knew him, all that he did for me made him my second father, said his son-in-law, Vincent Anzalone. When I had an important decision to make, I knew I could always count on him for advice, said another son-in-law, John Talavera. In addition to his two grandchildren, and his wife of 38 years, Grace, surviving Mr. Persichetti are his two daughters, Debora Persichetti and Tracey Anzalone; his son, Richard B.; his mother, Netta Persichetti, and his two sisters, Gloria Maurinac and Rita Maone. The funeral will be Saturday from the John Vincent Scalia Home for Funerals, Eltingville, with a mass at 9:45 a.m. in St. Clare's Church. Burial will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Pleasant Plains.

I would like to thank Ron, Marty & Bill for their efforts in putting together another successful Florida Retirees Luncheon in Delray Beach FL. It was great seeing Joe Coppola and Val Comforto, with whom I worked back in the forties and fifties and with whom I haven't had the pleasure of conversing in over 30 years. They still looked as young as they did, back in the good old days. Best wishes to all my fellow RCA Retirees. florida Jerry Kormos - KORGER223@A0O.COM
Worked at Globcom on Broad St., NYC in the late 1970s. Would love to hear from old friends. Phyllis Polay (married:Hurley) phhurl@hotmail.com
My name is Phyllis Polay(married name:Hurley) and I worked at Globcom in the late-1970s. Memories include the most decent gentleman, Mr. Murphy, the President, who took time to warmly greet a secretary whom he did not even know. I'd love to get in touch with Janet Feeney and Debbie Spinosa from the Legal Dept. and Joe Ciano from Sales. Globcom was a great place to work with an excellent group of people!
John P Boyd here I started in lodi, Ca. made a 10 year loop in the midwest and been back in Lodi 16 years. Of course now it's Varizon Business, but what's in a name anymore. It changes like underware.
I would like very much, to thank all of you who took the time out of your personal schedule to send a mass card or condolence card to my family. I cannot begin to tell you how my family and I are hurting with the loss of my daughter Kim Marie. Kim Marie and her two children had been living with my wife and I for the last two years, thankfully they are still with us and hopefully will be raised by me, my wife and our three other children. I am sorry it took so long to thank everyone, but I have finally had the courage to sit and type a thank you message. I truly appreciated the thoughtfullness and compassion you have shown, and I pray that no one has to endure what my family has had to live through. Thank you all very much and my sincerest thanks. George Tropiano and family.

I am very very sad to hear of the passing of Gene Gaetano. All I can say is "What a Nice Man" Gene always had time to chat with me no matter what. We enjoyed talking about the old times in later years. Gene was a friend of my dad Mike and I too considered him a friend. Rest in Peace Larry Cafiero
Sorry to read about the passing of Len Tuft. I worked with Len when I was Morris Pincus' secretary back in the mid 70's. Len was a true professional,kind man and a great conversationalist. Too many of our old friends are leaving us but are making heaven a better place. May his/their memory(ies) be eternal. Laura Ryan Mazzella
Thursday October 27, 2005 03:32 PM -0400 My name is Joe Ward. I worked at Globcom in the early '80s as well as during the late '70s during College breaks. My father, Bob Ward, was a long-time employee retiring after the MCI buy-in. It was nice to see his pictures in the phot gallery, as well as in the tribute section. He is missed. Coincidently, my great-uncle Peter Lambert was an employee after WWII when he got out of the Army Signal Corp. It was great to see some familiar faces from simpler times.

Talk about a trip down Memory Lane! I just found this site by accident. Seeing all the names and faces sent chills down my spine. I started at 60 Broad st in 1974 and left Piscataway in 1988.

Worked in the Edison shop under Joe Coppola. An finally Piscataway with John Sharpe and crew. I started right out of High School, so I grew up with all these people. Would love to make contact with some of the old crew Neger jr., Panza, Banfitch, Umbria I guess you all know who you are..... Vinny DeToma Staten Island vdetoma@verizon.net

03 05 2005 I JUST RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM WALT ROGERS REGARDING PHIL RAUSO'S HEART SURGERY. I WISH PHIL THE BEST AND A SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY MIKE LONG
I haven't looked at the memorial page in quite some time and today jokingly said to my wife that perhaps we should look and make sure I'm not on it. While it may have started out fun it quickly brought tears to my eyes which later became happy thoughts of the many years most of our departed worked with me and the many things we enjoyed and accomplished together. I still have many contacts in the communications industry today and can truly say that it was the RCA people who inspired and taught the work ethic to all of the rest of the companies then and now. I am personally proud to have been a member of our RCA organization and hope all of members now resting in heaven are looking back and boasting of their accomplishments not only at RCA but in life as well. Thank you Phils for giving many of this the ability to relive history and good times. Marty Finkelstein

Hi again, Just found your member listing and the info on Don Stackhouse. B Farris
Greetings from the Cape Cod blizzard country. The below questbook entry was placed there as a result of my being led to your website and the photo gallery - one photo of which is a radio operator. That operator is Francis Doane, a long time radio operator at the RCA Globcom marine station WCC in Chatham. Francis was a great uncle of mine and steered me into amateur radio and eventually to the commercial side of radio. I went to work at Chatham in early part of 1977, I think February, as a station technician and when the manager passed away I was promoted to the station manager, replacing Mr. Edgar Hammons. I served there under the guidance of Don Stackhouse until RCA was sold to GE and the maritime communications stations WCC and KPH were then sold to MCI International. As the last manager of the station before it was closed, I have in my possession many documents that date back to the early 20's and photos of the station. The organization CMMC, mentioned below by Mrs. Coleman, is looking for as much information they can gather about the marine operations under RCAGC and the Radio Marine division. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. This information could also include contacts who may be able to contribute to the information gathering. By the way, does anyone have information about Don Stackhouse. Best to you all, Bill Farris, former manager of ChthamRadio/WCC.
Greetings, Bill Farris the last manager of Chatham Radio Wireless Cape Cod (WCC) sent me your website. http://207.56.96.173/rca/gallery/gallery02/gallery02.htm Your website is very impressive and we are happy to know how to reach folks from the RCA Global Communications community. I am the president of a not for profit organization formed in 2002 to save the Marconi /RCA station in Chatham which is now owned by the Town of Chatham. We are hoping to obtain a long time lease of the operations building soon. CMMC (see below) believes that Marconi’s campus in Chatham is the only station built by Marconi left in the world where all of its original building are unchanged and its antenna field still sound and powerful. We find that few people know about Chatham’s powerful Ship to Shore Radio station built by Marconi and developed by RCA. We are almost finished with a ten minute documentary film which will be available for groups to view so that former RCA Global Communications people can join in our effort to save the station as a center for communication history and science. Roz Coleman CHATHAM MARCONI MARITIME CENTER. INC. (CMMC) MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Chatham Marconi Maritime Center is to enrich the lives of children and adults in Chatham and surrounding communities through the preservation and appropriate use of the historic Marconi site in Chatham. The goals are to beautify and improve access to the property, and to establish programs for all ages that will create job and training opportunities and to emphasize historic traditions, education and recreation, especially Chatham’s maritime history and its relationship to the 21st century The Historic Chatham Marconi Wireless Radio Station built by Marconi in 1914 is being supported by a growing number of individuals and groups. The Goal of the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center Inc. is to create a Communication Education Center that looks both to the future and to the past at Marconi’s amazing wireless breakthrough and RCA’s further development of wireless ship to shore radio. The Chatham Marconi Maritime Center, Inc. will provide students hands on information using both museum artifacts related to the history of wireless communication and state of the art technology. The CMMC Speakers Bureau will soon be booking our new ten minute documentary film entitled Chatham Radio: WCC, The Untold Story for organizational programs. In addition, CMMC is reaching out to the boating, sailing, and rowing community though its program partner, Pleasant Bay Community Boating and Cape Challenge, A Sea Scout program for boat building, rowing, and sailing. http://www.pbcb.cc <http://www.pbcb.cc/> For futher information, contact, Roslyn Coleman, CMMC President, or 508-945-1985.

Unfortunately, it seems that Beverly Schulman has passed away. I knew her by her maiden name of Bernstein. My name is Irene Rivera Catarella and I was a Radio Operator from 1943 to 1951 approximately. By the way, if there is still a TRopical Radio Station in Panama I have a picture given to me by one of the old-timers (I was very young then and everyone was an old-timer) this picture was taken in 1936 and shows a bungalow type building set in the midst of some lovely palm trees. Let me know if anyone would be interested in seeing it. My e-mail is: ned_is_free@hotmail.com it's been interesting browsing thru rcaglobal. thanks...

When that closed, I transferred to Verron Valley Earth Station to finish up 37 years of service. Having moved from HF to Satellite, the 37 years was an education in itself.....and I would be proud to be able to do it again. What a wonderful experience and great people to have met along the way. Some of us just have not kept up with the technology as I fail to find MANY of my co-workers not in the pages of your site. Please contact me if any of you care to, would be happy to meet you.

FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR. ROY CICERELLO Best wishes to all the RCA
family who were such an important part of my
life. May 2002 be the best year yet. Nadine and
Bob Hackett (employee 1959 to 1981 - NY & LA) hi everone just a note to wish
all a good 2002 hoping to hear from mor of my ex
co-workers Wishing everyone and their
families a very happy new year. A belated Happy Holidays to all
RCA members from Winnie Brauer Casha and me
(frank).May 2002 be a better year for all of us. I worked for RCA Communications
Inc. then RCA Global from 1957 through to
December 1967. I started as a messenger boy and
when I resigned I was a Commercial
Representative. What I learned at RCA served me
well for the rest of my career. Most vivid in my
memory was that I was paid to go to the famous
in house typing school so that I could advance
to a teletype operator. I actually practised on
company time. While working in operations (3-11
& 4-midnight) I attended St. Francis College; I
worked many weekends and holidays; thanks to my
good pay and the RCA Credit union I was able to
pay for my tuition and start raising a family.
Three individuals helped me a great deal while
at RCA. First was John Milione who co-signed for
me at the credit union; he was my surrogate
father. The other was John McKenna who helped me
gain my first position in management and
contined to be my friend until he died. Last but
not least was Sal DeMarco; he always gave me
good advice; he was truly a good friend. When
Sal moved to Florida we became even closer; he
became a bailiff in the Courthouse and helped me
with my legal career. I credit a great deal of
my success to these three men, who were most
representative of the good men and women who
worked with me at RCA. Anthony Titone Hi Gang My Wife Dee AND i WOULD
LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A Happy NEW year.AS YOU CAN
SEE I STLL CANT TYPE OR SPELL YET. STAY WELL
tALK TO U ALL SOON LOVE NAPPY and Dee Many, many thanks to Phil and
Phil Jr., I can only speak for myself, but your
creativity has has very much embellished my life
with cherished memories. Health & Peace to
EVERYONE! I worked at RCA 60 Broad
1970-1980. Thank you Peter Cennamo for this walk
down memory lane. Andy if you visit this website

There is no way we could have made this website
without the help of the RCA employees. We are
working on posting all the RCA Relay magazines
on the web. It should be completed by January of
2002. The books date back to the second issue of
RELAY which was published in August of 1940.
Everyone have a Happy Holiday Season, Happy
Chanukah, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi All, What a terrific site, it
brings back so many more memories seeing old
friends pics, and reading the messages, and also
sadness for those that passed on. Where else
could a person work and have so much fun and
make so many friends, from top management down,
a person couldnt ask for a better place to have
worked. Bea and I wish you all and your families
the best of health and happiness. My best
regards, Bill Schmitt Sr. Merry Christmas to all, havent

sad things...and some good memories..congrats to

people a Happy New Year and the best of luck.
LOVE Pat "Just dropping in to say hi to
everyone and to wish one and all a safe,
peaceful and fun holiday season." "Remember the
good times, and put the bad times behind you."
"Hang in there!" Bye.... Greetings Everyone. I view this
Web page constantly, checking out all the Photos
etc and it's getting bigger and better. Just
want to extend my best wishes to all the RCA
employes and fellow workers for the Holidays and
a very, very Happy New Year. Bob Tuohy
Jan'56-Dec'99 Hi guys this is the Cuollo Bear
Wishing everybody a Merry Christmas & a Happy
New Year. Yes I'm still around and doing just
fine. And Still working the Midnight Shift.. JUST WANT TO GIVE THE CORRECT
E-MAIL ADDRESS CHMAJANINA@AOL.COM BYE BYE THANKS AGAIN TO PHIL AND PHIL
JR. THANKS TO PHIL AND PHIL JR FOR A
GREAT SITE. I STARTED AT RCA 60 BROAD ST IN 1967
AS A TELETYPE OPERATOR AND WAS PROMOTED TO
SUPERVISOR OF PORTERS BY MY OLD BOSS HOWARD
SMITH IN 1981. I WAS LAID OFF IN 1987 AS A
TRAFFIC SPVR WORKING UNDER PAUL THOMPSON AND ED
KISTULENIC. HAD A GREAT TIME AT RCA AND MADE
MANY GOOD FRIENDS. I WILL STAY IN TOUCH BECAUSE
AS SUPERVISOR OF PORTERS I COLLECTED A LOT OF
OLD STUFF. Our RCAGC Alumni email address
list now exceeds 275 entries. If anyone wants an
updated list just drop me an email and I will be
happy to oblige. Phil, My apologies for
misspelling your your name Rausa i/o Rauso.
"OOps! (smile) Larry... HI EVERYONE I STARTED WORKING
WITH RCA GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS IN THE SAN
FRACISCO OFFICE FROM 1964 TO 1981. I would just like to say to
everyone. The RCA Communications Association
puts a lot of time and effort to keep the RCA
Family together. I would like everyone to know
that you DO NOT have to be of retirement age to
belong. As long as you once worked for RCA
Global you can be a member. The Dues are a Mere
$10.00 annually. All information is on the
opening page of the RCA Global Web-Site. Just
contact Ed Davis. Even if you live out of State
you are more then welcome to be a member. We
will be adding new photos and Relay magazines
from the year 1940 thru 1982 so stay tuned.
Meanwhile pick up and phone or write Ed Davis.
Have a GREAT HOLIDAY one and all. In response to Joe Copolla's
comments regarding the "poor" attendance at
Retiree Association meetings, I am very guilty,
I only attended twice several years ago. I can
offer escuses, but that is insufficient, because
many of the attendees make sacrifices. Maybe if
we "poll" the website and ask everyone viewing,
what do they feel could be implemented to
improve attendance at Retiree Association
meetings/luncheon/dinner, etc., the attendance
would improve? I had an opportunity to briefly
see Phil Rauso during his Thanksgiving visit
with his family here in NYC. Phil looks
absolutely great, we shared many, many old
memories and laughs. It is Phil's intention to
return to NYC in the Summer/Fall of 2002 and he
would like to see as many of his RCA friends as
possible. During his visit with John Pontecorvo,
it was mentioned as a possibility of a meeting
in Las Vegas (John Pontecorvo has a real desire
to go there and so do I!). Whether it is Las
Vegas with Phil & John or NYC, Let's all do our
best to personally spend some time with them if
anyway possible! Health & Peace... Been into the website many
times, can't remember if I signed into the guest
book. Miss the greatest bunch of co-workers ever
assembled. It is great to get to the RCA
Retirees assn. meetings and get together with
those of us still remaining. Long life, Good
health, and may all the world be good to you.
Ponte. (JJP) Hi again everyone. Hope your
gobble gobble day went well and all is well in
your families. Was sadden to hear of the passing
of Vinnie Attardi, great President of the Union.
God bless him and his family. Just checking in,
Happy Holidays to everyone. Oh! for nites!! LOL
Hi you all. Just heard about
this site and was looking it over. Hello to all
the People I worked with in San Francisco, Lodi,
Houston and other points.. Hello to all and glad
to see you are still around.. The best to ALL.
Shaw I AM FROM QUEENS VILLAGE
ORIGINALLY. MAIDEN NAME IS MYERS, Anyone: Whats the scoop on this
'TRICARE' that GE is touting in their latest
health bulletin .. says its for military
retirees and possible $ reimbursement mentioned.
Has anyone tried it? This is to let everyone know
that starting in January 2002 We will have a lot
more material for everyone to view. On my visit
to New York, I will be returning with Relay
Magazines which date from 1940 thru 1982. John
Milione advised me he has so much RCA
Memoribilia he don't know how I will get it back
to Arizona. So stay tuned. Hi Everyone! Joe Capolla asked
why we did away with the chat-room. The reason
being? Poor Attendance. It's an example of what
will become of the Retiree's Assoc. If people
don't start making their meetings.RCA
Communications Association has worked very hard
to keep RCA alive and well. We would like to see
more new members and more attendance so come on
folks give Ed Davis a call. Phil, It was a pleasure talking
on the phone with you today along with John
Milione. It brought back the good old times we
had at RCA Global. Although I did not stay long
at 60 Broad Street, I did witness all the stunts
that were pulled off and they were a lot of fun.
Now that it's 40 years later we can laugh at it
all. Joseph Barocas Just found out about this
wonderful program.I am hooked already.Will keep
intouch with many of the names I see listed.
Frank/ The annual luncheon that took
place todayNov.l3th at Koenigs in Floral was
most enjoyable. Great to see everyone.We missed
Marty & Ethel, and Vinnie & Millie.We hope they
will both be feeling better very soon. And to
all of you that did not attend, you missed a
wonderful luncheon. Best wishes to all of you. Hi Everyone! I can't believe all
the names I see. It's like being re-united with
everyone. I started at RCA Global in 1975, in
Piscataway, NJ working for John Lemak and then
for Gene Stanley. I was laid off in 1988, moved
back home in 1992 to Thomasville, GA and work in
Tallahassee, FL as a paralegal. I sure would
like to see you guys again. Send me an e-mail of
something. Started working in san fran in
1966. Those were the good ole days, where the
company cared for the employees. HI TO EVERYONE HOPE ALL ENJOY
THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY Hello RCA!! Just learned of this
website and oh! what a joy!! Talking bout
remembering the good times----can I get a
witness? lol Already spreading the word. There
are so many people and pictures that are
missing, but the web thought was a good idea!!!!
Thanks to all who help create, add, etc. to
it-----Larry, knew you had to be in there!! Good
work to all of you. Anybobdy, anytime want to
give me a line, please feel free. Brought back a
lot of fond memories----never a job so sweet or
people who knew how to "get down!!" This website
is surly a breath of fresh air. I would like to
take this opportunity to say that my heart and
prayers go out to all who have lost a love one
because of September 11th of this year, whether
it was a friend or family member. Also, to all
of our "brothers and sisters" from RCA who have
passed on (either mentioned or not mentioned), I
wish to say we all miss you. Hey people, God is
trying to tell us something....it's time to get
smart, get serious, and get going!! "Be Good, If
Not, Be Careful!"" LOL P.S. In case some of you
are wondering who I am, I worked in
KeyPunch----Dynomite!!!! Talk about good times,
those were the good days and 60 Broad was the
place!! Never had a job like that anymore--- we
were together---miss you guys. I want to take
this time to express my sympathy to all of those
who lost anyone, whether family or friends on
Sept. 11th. My daughter is now going to
BMCC--too close for comfort!! God is talking--
it is time to "Get Smart, Get Serious, and Get
Going." Also, want to say to Phil and
Larry--this website was a good idea. Here's
hoping this will stay for a long, long, time.
Congratulations---both of you! And, Larry--knew
you had to be in there somewhere! LOL "Take care
everyone." Give me an e-mail shout
anytime---would love to hear from you guys. In
case any of you do not know who I am, I used to
work in KeyPunch. Wow! We getting younger &
younger! LOL I have just finished installing
pictures on our Memorial page. If anyone would
like to add pictures to the names of our dearly
departed fellow workers I would be more then
happy to do so. E-Mail me and I will give you
the address to sent them to. My best to all. Wow! What a great idea. It was
wonderful to read all the names and to see all
of the faces. What a pleasure! Thanks Phil. Hi
everybody. GOOD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE
VISITING HERE. I STARTED WITH RCAGC IN FEB 1957
IN SANFRANCISCO. WHEN RCA OPENED LODI I MOVED
THERE THEN WHEN IT CLOSED BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO
AND THAT IS WHERE I AM AT TODAY. SO FAR I
HAVEN'T HAD THE GUTS TO RETIRE. MAYBE SOMEDAY I
WILL. SALUTATIONS TO ALL TOM PENRY HELLO TO EVERYONE NICE TO HAVE
THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE AND TO SEE THE OLD
FACES AGAIN Just stopped by to say hi to all
RCA friends. Hi everyone, Thank you for your
concern regarding my son Michael, fortunately he
is ok and back to work. My prayers are with
everyone affected by this tragedy. Take care and
God Bless. Nappy and Dee During these very challenging
times for our nation, I commented to Stew, when
e-mail communications was restored to my work
location at "ground zero", despite flurries of
activities, exhaustion, anxieties, rumors which
had to be substantiated, long hours, etc., my
spirits were uplifted by perusing the RCA GLOBAL
site which mentally and emotionally re-energized
me traveling back to "60 broad ST." I am so very
thankful for the RCA GLOBAL website and the
initial efforts created by Stew and taken to
another level by Phil Rauso and Phil Rauso, Jr.
As a small token of appreciation, I have decided
to send Phil and his Son my check for $50.00.
However I must also mention when I recently sent
Phil a variety of pictures (He must wait for the
expansion of the website in December) he also
created a personal CD for me with an anthology
of pictures I sent to him. This can now be an
integral part of my legacy to my children who
are all aware of how proud I am to be part of
the RCA Family and will cherish those feelings
eternally. With that thought in mind, I have
decided to increase my check to Phil from $50.00
to $100.00. I feel it is a mere token of
appreciation. I am only attempting to convey my
gratitude for his creativity and on-going
efforts. PEACE... THAT TRIBUTE TO NEWYORK WAS THE
MOST MOVING THING I HAVE SEEN AND IT WAS DONE IN
TRULY GREAT TASTE.. IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH TEN DAYS
SINCE IT HAPPENED AND THERE ISNT A DAY THAT GOES
BY THAT I DONT GET TEARS IN MY EYES. MAY GOD
BLESS EACH AND EVERY VICTIM AND THEIR FAMILIES
AND ALL THAT ARE HELPING..AND MAY GOD PROTECT
ALL OF US IN THE FUTURE!!! I ALSO VISIT THE SITE
EVERY DAY TO SEE WHO ELSE FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS
AT SIXTY BROAD SIGNS IN...WISHING EVRYONE THE
BEST!!! Worked for RCA for 44 years @ 60
Broad. Have a retirees club. If interested, call
(631)218-0318. Hi RCA Remember me ?? GLB Tocc
supervisor in New York and Piscataway. I retired
in 1989 and have been living here in Las Vegas
for past five years. Found about this website
from Bobby Krisiak and after looking at it saw
so many many people I worked with for so many
years in NY and NJ. I am trying to get all info
regarding this webside because I want to become
a part of it. If anybody out there can tel me
what to do will appreciate it. Glenn Brown 3151
Soaring Gulls Drive #2183 Las Vegas NV 89128
Looking foward to hearing from EVERYBODY !!!!
Glanval Glenn GLB Brown I worked at RCA Global in San
Francisco from 1966 until 1978 and would love to
hear from any of the old crew. I was with the OMT department
for eighteen years. Now work for the NYC Dept.
of Finance. Friday, 9/14, I needed to go to
Centre Street and then John Street. When working
for RCA, I got to travel that area almost every
day, and as bad and as different as it looks
now, take heart that it will be the same again
one day. Everything will even out in time and
wounds will heal. May heaven receive those who
did not get out, may God bless those who are
working to find survivers and be thankfull for
those who, for the grace of God, got out in
time. May God bless everyone. My RCA Global career began in
1983 as a customer trainer. Loved that
company!!! and Most of all the People at RCA!!! My dad Donato Lalla worked for
RCA for over 40 years. Hi gang. Miss you all. Hope
everyone is fine. Hug yourself for me.Good job.
Since I left RCA in 1986 to go to NBC 30 Rock. I
always wonder what happened to my friends.
Larry, Tom, Robert Ruben, Choski and etc. Will
keep in touch. Barbara We are with a sad heart as we
watch the TV and view the situation where the
WTC had been.All of us at 60 Broad St. have a
deep connection with the WTC and the Financial
District. Now retired, we get reports from our
children of the loss of their friends on 9/11
and the many children who are now without
parents. Our prayers go out to all the families,
the victims and to the brave rescue workers,are
who like Larry Howard are heros and truly
represent the spirit of the American people and
the ole RCA Globcom family. Hi Everybody, As you may or may
not know, I have been working with the Federal
Police (26 Federal Plaza) for over 5 years. We
are near ground zero of the former World Trade
Center. This is my first trip home since the
tragedy. My 27-1/2 years of military training
really paid dividends for the ability to
maintain my responsibilities under adverse
conditions. The circumstances cannot be
described, especially the many, many faces of
heroism, emotional pain, etc., The eerie glow of
the sky 24 hours daily, the saturation of
asbestos, etc., Every branch of Law enforcement
(including military) that you can imagine has
now supplemented all the Law enforcement
agencies housed in 26 Federal plaza. There is
constant activity, the most tragic being the
convoys of refrigerator trucks returning from
the site. I am so physically and emoitonally
exhausted I cannot sleep. My heart pains for all
those fallen heros and their grieving loved
ones. God Bless America... our prayers and hope go with all
our family and friends caught up in this wtc
tragedy marty great knowing that rca has its
own e mail setup..best wishes to all NICE SEEING ALL THE FOLD FACES.
SURE DOES BRING BACK MEMORIES. I just found out about this
website today, and Phil I think its a wonderful
idea, I brought back so many wonderful memories.
Thank you Erica Wonderful site! Just learned
about the site this morning. Van Buskirk
Maryland RCA Globcom - Wash. DC So many familiar names and so
many wonderful memories. Phil and I just
recently concluded chatting. I informed him that
I mailed a batch of pictures (1960, 1970, etc.,)
Hopefully my submissions will stimulate pleasant
thoughts, similar to the "warm" fuzzies I felt
viewing the sites. Health, Peace and
Happiness... Note: Stew (ole buddy) can you also
send me a recent updated address list? Thanks!!! Just found out about this site
from my sister Gerry Stephenson. You might not
remember me but I am Gerry's baby sister who use
to work for RCA Global from July 1983 to January
1989. I started out as a Traffic Operator under
Pete Theodore and John Pontecorvo. While I might
not be considered a old timer, looking at all
the names and remembering the faces and stories,
it brings back old memories. Well now I am a
married woman living in the Windy City -
Chicago, IL and loving every minute of it. Drop
me a line sometime. Former RCA OMT . I didn't know this site existed
until Donna (Felella) told me about it and Stew
got me the details. I'm happy I found you guys.
It's wonderful to read all the comments and see
all the photos. My years at RCA were very happy
and exciting, and I'm grateful for the
opportunity to relive some of those memories
through this wonderful website. To Stew Miller Hey Stew: I have
missed your regular notes providing us all with
updates on who's who. How about sending me an
updated e-mail address(s. Hope all is well with
you and your family. Keep in touch. Walt "Phil Rauso & Phil Rauso Jr.(and
significantly, Stu Miller)" Similar to prior
comments from others, I offer my profound thanks
for your combined creativity which has brought
back many, many nostalgic memories. I am also in
the process of forwarding to Phil from my
personal collection, segments of the RCA
history. My thanks also to the numerous members
of the RCA family who have taken the time to
share their RCA memories. "ZUJ-1" (was that
"STANDBY-1?") I believe "ZRY" WAS TEST, "ZAR-1"
FIRST REQUEST, etc., (smile) Wonderful. So many familiar
names. Great job. I was very pleased to see so
many of the names from the past what a great
effort, thanks. Started in '67 and am still here
(Now in Atlanta, GA) Wcom So many good years. I just discovered that RCA
Global had a site yesterday and I was compelled
to visit it. It has brought back good memories
of how blessed we were to have a company that
provided many benefits for it's employees. Best
Wishes to all! What a pleasure to review your
site!! I began at Riverhead in 1962, Mr Marshal
Etter was Eng. in Charge at that
time.Transferred to Rocky Point as a transmitter
Tech. ten years or so later. Finally transferred
to the NY CTO and after that Transferred to
Rayburn Texas to open up the Earth Station there
along with Paul Patrick, Ray Berkel and others
who were hired locally. When that closed, I
transferred to Verron Valley Earth Station to
finish up 37 years of service. Having moved from
HF to Satellite, the 37 years was an education
in itself.....and I would be proud to be able to
do it again. What a wonderful experience and
great people to have met along the way. Some of
us just have not kept up with the technology as
I fail to find MANY of my co-workers not in the
pages of your site. Please contact me if any of
you care to, would be happy to meet you.
Incidently if any of you are interested, I have
carried/saved and entire HF receiver from
Riverhead in three sections, RF, Mixer, IF (What
an item, it must weigh 200 pounds in all)!

BY THE WAY I AM OFFICALLY A DUFFER NOW... NEED
AT LEAST 4 STROKES A SIDE. O'D THAT IS
SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR CON-SUMTION. MY dad and I are sitting here
and we are both enjoying these photos. He is
especially enjoyed seeing alot of the faces that
he started with. He sends his regards to all! i think this is really a
magnificent way of keeping in touch with the
many good people i have had the opportunity AND
GOOD FORTUNE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH IN THE WORK
PLACE As an ex-employee (18 years) I
can really appreciate this page. I think it is a
real tribute to all the employees and a company
that, in it's day, was a leader in all of it's
endevors including it's relations with the
people who worked there. Do to the change in
both business and political ethics companies
like RCA, with a relationship with it's
employees, could never survive. This page is a
tribute to a time that, hopefully may some time
return. My very best to the Creater of this
page... Bob Bruggemann Work E-Mail address
(bruggman@finance.nyc.gov) Just a short note to say HI to
all the people who have joined the group since I
last popped in. The site is getting better and
better -- Best to all !! Hello If anyone requires an up-to-date
list of the RCAGC Alumni email addresses, drop
me a note and will forward it to you. Just find out about the website.
For those who remember me, I worked in the
keypunch department. hello..... Hello to the RCA folks!! I have
re-married, living in Miami and living the vida
loca!!! Miss you all.. Great web-site. I worked at
Globcom for a couple of years in the mid 80's in
the MIS department. I have stayed in touch with
Don Bowker and Dick Santoro over the years and
Don and I regularly attend an RCA reunion held
in Cherry Hill once a year. Norm Wainwright Hi everyone, I worked for RCA,
GE, MCI and finally MCI Worldcom for 32 years,
perhaps some of you remember my father Phil
Schembre. I just found out about this website,
and I am looking for anyone that has been out on
LTD and was just recently terminated by
Worldcom. I was out on LTD for the past 2 1/2
years and I just received a letter terminating
my employment effective July 31, 2001. It is my
understanding that this form letter was sent out
to everyone that was out on LTD, so I thought
perhaps someone out there may have received the
same letter. Any assistance you can provide will
be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Josephine
Schembre As a former employee of RCA
Global, it is a great pleasure to see that a web
site has been established for all of us to
participate in. My thanks go out to all who have
made this possible! No matter where I go or
where my career path leads me, I will always
consider myself above all, an RCA person at
heart! This is about as close to a time
machine as your going to get. A time machine
with only good memories ! Great Job Keep getting amazed at the vast
amount of solid information that you are putting
out for all us oldtimers to view, read and
enjoy. A marvelous effort and you will be
rewarded in heaven for all your work. Thanks and
keep the good work going Marty A special THANKS to STEW MILLER.
It was Stew Miller who started posting some
photo's on his personal site that we came up
with the idea for the RCA Globcom Web-Site. Stew
has been a great right hand man in up-dating our
employee list and sending bulletins to keep
everyone posted. Again. THANK YOU. My Son Phil Jr. and I would like
to take this opportunity to thank each and every
one of you for visiting RCA Globcom Web-Site.
The response has been over whelming needless to
say. It makes it all worth while. It seems
different looking at the photo's on the
Web-Site. As Joe Barocas put it. Every time I
come to this site its like being in a time
capsule. Visit as often as you like and if you
have not signed the Guest book please do.
Everyone loves reading the nice comments. RCA Global in NY and Piscataway

over an hour) with Philly Rauso talking (and
laughing) about the "good ole days". I haven't
laughed like this in a long time. We couldn't
believe the things we used to do...We decided
that someday we're going to have to publish a
book. At any rate, Philly and his son are doing
a fantastic job with this website. My hat is off
to them both. It truly is good to see all of you
leaving your comments. It truly was a "family"
working with RCAGC. My best regards to

Was at last meeting held on May
22ND and was discussing PAL TALK which is a chat
group that you can have your members only able
to access the group and able to chat with anyone
that may be on the internet at the time you sign
on, ,.. it is possible to chat with keyboard or
mike if they have the necessary equipment.. So
if you are interested it is called PALTALK and
anyone can sign on and download and if they wish
they can join the group that you can set up
with privacy if you desire with a password that
they must use to access the group. Lots of luck
and was great to see and hear from all the RCA
people. Regards, Joe Coppola Dear Phil, A million Kudos for a
great Web Site. I just love the feedback you are
getting. Add my email address anytime you wish
as I love to get emails from the gang. Again,

see all those pictures from past years X Some I
knew but others I just guess at. You are all
doing a great job X 73 Phil and to Stew for
