[Milsurplus] Bill Godbout killed in Paradise, CA fire

[Hubert Miller]

Saw this in N.Y. Times, 15 Nov. 2018 :
" Also killed in the fire was Bill Godbout, 79, an influential figure in the early days of Silicon Valley who ran a popular electronics store. He was well known in the
hacker community, and remembered for his quirks, like his license to fly blimps. Robert Tuck, Mr. Godbout's grandson, said that Mr. Godbout had stayed behind
as his wife and relatives fled, probably to save his three cats....Mr. Tuck said through tears, 'He was listening to the radio report and thought he had a little more
time.' "

End quotes. When I saw the name, I recalled ads I had seen in '73' magazine, and if I recall, the ads were largely about digital electronics and early computer
components.
