Okay, Moodz just provided me with the name of where KEN White SR, FIRST lived. In my records, there it WAS!!!! The scattered history of Whites Electronics.

Now I am going to find some time, between cutting branches of Ponderosa Pine TREES, to the deadly act of weed destruction. I am going to sit down and write the History of WHITES ELECTRONICS, with the name of this other Oregon town.........

Get ready for it! Its COMING in this forum, I will stick it RIGHT HERE, after my post...I will scan photos, enhance them, and there will be in the FACTUAL story....

I was right! Ken White Sr started in another town, other then Sweet Home OR!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the material! I will find the time, between sawing Ponderosa Pine Tree branches, and killing weeds with my weed machine.

I will take this new town name, and write the story of Whites Electronics. I will also scan and enhance some new photos, and stick them into the history story.... I GOT the history!!!!!!!!!!

All I have to do is write IT!!!!!!!!! It is Ken Whites own words, and I am going to put it into MY OWN WHITES ELECTRONICS history booklet. And it is ALL TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! Dates???????? Yep, got the years of different history too! Maybe not all the dates, but got some year dates!!!!!!

So CARL, get ready, to read what I will write and post somewhere in the next TWO WEEKS!!! Digging through the vintage material, and I will write it and post it HERE!!!! In this furniture business story!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken White started in another town!!!!!!!!! Later, the forest diminished in trees, and Ken closed out the furniture, and moved LOCK, STOCK, and BARREL. to Sweet Home OR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to write out the whole factual story, and post it RIGHT HERE!!!!!!! I just had the wrong name of the earlier town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I need to do now Carl, is write the entire early story of Whites Electronics along with the facts.....................So will not post again until I write this story and enhance the photos.....

Okay, finished writing the update on the History of Whites Electronics, got family here until next week, so do not have the time because of family here, to scan and enhance the historical photos, will do that later on, and stick it into this very section. I wrote a short history, update, into the years form 1930 up into 1980, and took it from material made by Ken White Sr back in 1980. I re-wrote it, creating my own material, and later on, will stick in enhanced scanned photos from back in those years. But that will be later on you see. Got to get back to the weeds and cutting and trimming trees today. Now I wrote it yesterday and today, saved it as a .doc file, then with my older computer, which has PDF softwere inside it, changed it into a .PDF file, then secured it against changes, and it is now here. I thought the FIRST town was Lebanon, I was wrong, right on my story, but wrong on where it took place in Oregon, it was no Lebanon Oregon, it was VERONIA OREGON!!! When I realized my mind had the wrong town it in my mind, I found the right material...

I got some older photo material, when I get some time, and family leaves, I will scan it, enhanced it, and come and stick it into this 1930-1980 HISTORY STORY of VERONIA OREGON, of Ken White Sr, and Whites Electronics!!!!...Now Whites Electronics was sold by Ken White Jr, before he passed away. I will not go beyond 1980 as he sold it to Garrett Electronics and Whites Electronics is now owned by Garrett Electronics and I will not go into it's history beyond 1980 time period. This is 1930s time into 1980, and earlier time period. So enjoy the history of Ken White Sr from 1930s on up into the time of 1980! Some time later on Garrett bought it and not going into his time ownership...

Opened the .Doc file, some errors in spelling, so edited it, corrected spelling errors. Saved again, will replaced the 1980 Whites History_S_NP.Pdf file, with the new edited one. Decided not to scan and enhance the photos, too much work. But here is the corrected file. 1980 Whites History_S_NP.Pdf

I made an error, Ken White Sr did not start up the Whites electronics in Lebanon OR!!! He started it in Veronia OR. Then he moved it into Sweet Home OR years later.... The story is inside the last .PDF file I made up!!!

My other computer, which has the scanner with it, is acting up, so not going to enhance the photos I wanted to enhance. But I corrected the error, Whites Electronics started up in Veronia OR, not in Lebanon OR, then later moved to Sweet Home OR. The above is two sheets of paper, telling the story of the History of Whites Electonics, they both are from Ken White Sr to myself years ago!
