You are quite welcome.
Wish all of it would've unfolded faster, while Jerry was still active on here. But we're not in control of it all.
So I'll just play the cards from here/now.

Re: Gerald Wiles
All the SS that was welded while I was there was done by Tig. I don't know when the RedHead went OOP, but there were some old Tig machines we scrapped, and the Tigs they were using were 15+ years old, and we didn't scrap any gas welding stuff. So I suspect the RH was tigged also. How quickly did tho...

Re: Dyna-Jet story
Hopefully more folks will chime in. So far, there are 3 folks that seem to be interested (Mike Everman, Tufty, and Orangeshirt). I didn't have a minimum is for typing up some of the story, but just needed to make sure that it wasn't zero. (but more replies is better) For those that read my longer po...

Re: Gerald Wiles
Anything that remains needs to be preserved. If nothing else, at least get it scanned and onto archive.org, that way it's not lost. I researched that some time ago and I'm not sold on it yet. From what I understand, if you send them somethign to scan, you never get it back, and they give no timefra...

Re: Gerald Wiles
Considering the amount of no-longer-in-use stuff that was there, I was surprised we did not find any stamping tooling for it. Believe me, we were on the lookout! We did find this, but it seems to maybe be a welding jig. I don't see how the black items are related, but they were found together, so......

Re: Gerald Wiles
Excellent info, Orangeshirt. You probably know that the facility is now gone, demolished, and a library and other things are to be built on that site. Facility closed around April 2022 and was flattened in the months after that. Curtis Dyna-Fog - aerial 2.JPG For those interested, seems there were 2...

Re: Dyna-Jet story
Jerry unfortunately passed away March 2023 https://www.stockerfraley.com/obituary/GeraldJerry-Wiles Sad news to hear that Jerry has passed. As I mentioned, I had some info and it would've been great to close the loop with him. I should've tried harder to find him when I first learned his name, but ...

Re: Gerald Wiles
Thanks for posting that, orangeshirt.
Sad news, but at age 95, he got more time than most folks.
I regret that I didn't try to find him sooner - I allowed life to get in the way.
I see you just joined a few days ago, presumably to post that obit (again, thank you). Did you know Jerry?

@55dcyinely
I realize this is a decade-old discussion, but do you know if Dyna-Jet-Jerry is still around?
I'm a new member here, I joined because I have some information for him.

Re: Dyna-Jet story
Jerry -
I'm hoping you'll see this.
I worked at Dyna-Fog for a few years and have some info that could add into your book, or at least tell you about it.

Re: Gerald Wiles
I, too, would like to know if Jerry is still around.
I worked at Dyna-Fog for a few years and have some info that could add into his book, or at least he'd like to hear it.
And I found some stuff that had his name on it.
But none of us are getting any younger.
