Orignal owner info

I was going thru the documentation from the cuda organizing all the paperwork(continuous job). We got a lot of documentation with the cuda and the orig owners name on quite a few of the receipts. Orig owner was in Pasadena CA. Lots of receipts from Plymouth stores in CA.
Very cool to sift thru, so I thought I would fire up the Google machine.
Well voila, I get a hit! Last name Toomath. Not a common last name, so
I thought "maybe", and do a little more digging. I'll point out most receipts are from CA, but one was from Hooper Motors in Florida(replace rear bumper)
I figured maybe he was on a trip to Florida. Well I started to piece it together with the help of Google.
Turns out Mr. Toomath worked for Cal State. And somehow associated with NASA. I'm guessing the FL receipt was because he was ar Cape Canaveral.
He contributed in one way or another about Jet Propulsion.
The one solid piece of "evidence" is Bob's notes he wrote when doing amperage draw on the cuda. He initialed the top RL Toomath.
Pretty cool! Had to share!
Thanks Bob and thanks Jim for providing/saving all the documentation. I wish Dad was alive to share this with him.

That's cool ! I see it though that he worked for JPL.

The house I bought in '12 was almost completely as the deceased owner left it as it was his 2nd but main home for years. I have yet to go through it all but know quite a bit about Bill, his wife, dog, nephew, businesses, career, hobbies, travel etc. The woodworking and other miscellaneous tools are priceless to me, brand new snips, drill press, etc.
Many Craftsman items in packages. I found NOS Sears and Roebuck stamped mailbox in the garage that's now out on the highway being used. Even found an expired CDL So know face size etc. This cat has books on almost any subject and was into everything. One smart cookie. Only one neighbor left that knew him and I can probably get Ol' Bill's stereo equipment for asking.
I count my blessings daily.
