Passing of Bill Mayberry, Terak co-founder

Today I learned that William Mayberry, one of the cofounders of Terak, passed away in August 2010. He started as an EE at University of Illinois where he worked on the ILLIAC. He worked at Sperry Flight Systems. He designed the Space Shuttle MDM system, then went to Boeing and worked on the electronics of the 747, then the flight control and weapon systems of the Apache helicopter. In 1975, he cofounded Terak Computer and became its CEO. He'd always kept me in mind to help preserve his Terak history, and I'm glad to say his family is helping with that. I'm working with his widow to help preserve the materials she has. One of his nephews has an interest in preserving the Terak. Contact me if you could assist with physical rescue in the Phoenix area. - John
