>Three years have past and our museum has gone through two moves.  In 2001
>through 2002 the whole collection was moved to the Computer Museum of America
>at 640 "C" Street in San Diego.  I worked with the curator, David Weil; the
>preparitor, Rush Glick; and the technician, Adrian Jimenez.  I also 
>worked with
>Sgt. Warren Brader, the curator of the secure communicaitons and survellience
>museum.  Together we have accomplished much.
>
>We assisted in the production of two motion pictures.  One was "Secrets, Lies,
>and Atomic Spies" a production for the NOVA series on PBS. The 
>second movie was
>produced by the famous Errol Morris and was initially titled "Wilson's Ghost"
>which is the title of one of Robert S. McNamara's books.  After 20 hours of
>interviewing Mr. McNamara the title was changed to "The Fog of War - 
>11 lessons
>from the life of Robert McNamara"  We provided all of the teletypewriter
>machines and the IBM card sorter that are featured in the documentary.  This
>film distributed by SONY pictures Classics is a magnificent piece of 
>work, that
>becomes breath-taking to the viewers.  The musical score is also an excellent 
>work by Philip Glass.  The film won the academy award for the best 
>documentary.
>
>In 2004 we again moved NADCOMM and our host museum The Computer Museum of
>America back to the Coleman College in La Mesa, California.  This time the
>museum takes up what used to be a bowling alley.  The NADCOMM collection has
>its own room.  The exhibit on the history of cryptology is still running.  We
>have obtained additional matierials and equipment that is on display for the
>first time to the public, including a beautiful and complete Model 28 R/T
>cabinet donated by Thomas Kleinschmidt.
>
>Please try to make time to visit the combined museums at the 
>Computer Museum of
>America, 7380 Parkway Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942. (619) 464-8220  The museum is
>open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays and
>national holidays.
>
>Yours for the preservation and operation of vintage data communications
>equipment.
