I was with ATC in Rochester back in 1981 when the headend and office was at 21 Gorham Street. We all used to go to Ralphs for lunch and to cash our pay checks....along with all the guys from the Genesee Brewery across the street!
I worked with Tom Toomey, Bob Baumgartner, Bob Dugan, Jim Smillies, Jeff Tewkesbury, Wendell Giggy, Mike "Jonsey" Jones, Tom Perretti, TERRY HICKS (God Love 'em!), Brian Burns, Tom Snyder (not to be confused with the Tom Snyder from Baton Rouge), Johnny Walker and a bunch of other wild cable dawgs from the old days! A bunch of us used to live up north near the Penny Arcade....we activated the NEW cable plant to the area in the NW part of Rochester 1st.....to get cable to the local bars! We drank many many FREE brewskies compliments from the bar/tavern owners....lol. Those were the good 'ol days and before ATC aquired the suburbs (Peoples Cablevision) when it was from scratch! Many of us guys continued on in the cable industry and went with manufactures like Brian Burns and myself.
I still have Dugans number in Canandaugua. Last heard from Toomey 2-3 years ago. Lost touch with everyone else.
