While in high school in 1967 I joined the US Navy Reserves - home base
NAS Grosse Ile, Michigan, USA.  It was decommissioned in 1969.

 

October 1968 I went active duty.  First on NAS Grosse Ile, Michigan.
Then January 1969 I was transferred to US Naval Base Treasure Island
San Francisco Bay, California.

April 1, 1969 I was transferred to  Naval Air Station (NAS) Agana Guam
To October 1970.  I was in barracks 16.  Attached to the Operations division
with Chief Alves and Chief Willie Williams.
I replaced AZ2 (Aviation Maintenance Adminstrationman)
Mercer Cleland and Tony Wolf (AZ3)

I spent my time working on Yellow Sheets in the logging engine hours and maintenance tracking in the
maintenance department of aircraft Grumman HU16 and Helicopters UH34 and Constellation C131.
However, I was on the Grumman HU16s.  Thought they were able to land in water.  I never had the
opportunity to do so.

I became a aircrew member on the search and rescue airplane HU16 seaplane.  Fortunately,
we had no real rescues.  Just one transport of an Ponape islander back to his home island
to die.  In route from Taiwan our plane got his by lightning during a store and the nose cone
got burned out - that is where is radar is and we had issues getting back to NAS Agana, Guam.
Obviously I got back.

 

 

Places our HU16 aircraft serial numbers 141263, 141275 went to

  • Island of Tinian
  • Island of Saipan
  • Island of Rotary
  • Island of Taiwan
  • Island of Philippines
  • Island of Ponape
  • Island of Guam (home base NAS Agana, Guam)
  • Atoll of Ulithi

John Timco, 1952 in Livonia, Michigan

Our company has been a family owned and operated business for over fifty years. First it was Cash Register Company and then Corporation since 1967.  When my father, John Timco passed away in 1989, the company was sold and since is no longer in business.  John became one of the largest cash register dealers for
Sweda Cash Register Company and also was sales star in New York City.  
 
However, the spirit of my father's heart is in mine.  I like to collaborate with people whose values put integrity first and you will find the right kind of company.
 

Integrity is consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations and outcome. As a holisticvalue system's abstraction depth and range of applicable interaction may also function as significant factors in identifying integrity due to their congruence or lack of congruence with empirical observation. A value system may evolve over time while retaining integrity if those who espouse the values account for and resolve inconsistencies. concept, it judges the quality of a system in terms of its ability to achieve its own goals. A

Integrity may be seen as the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. The term "hypocrisy" is used in contrast to integrity for asserting that one part of a value system demonstrably conflicts with another, and to demand that the parties holding apparently conflicting values account for the discrepancy or change their beliefs to improve internal consistency.

During the first decades of the last century one company produced almost all cash registers on the market. It was NCR, - National Cash register from USA. They developed the first mechanical cash register before 1900 and thus made fraud more difficult for dishonest employees in the retail and bar businesses. The cash register concept was welcomed enthusiastically all over the world.

However, the Swedish retail chain, COOP, did not approve of NCR´s monopoly. Theydecided to make they own cash register. THe task was given to a young machine engineer by the name of Birger Högfors, and in 1930 the first cash register was released. As the prospects looked good, COOP decided to start large-scale production with both domestic and international sales in mind.

In 1934 Birger Högfors left COOP and started the SWEDA Company.

New cash registers were developed and produced for both Sweden and foreign markets. With good market acceptance the SWEDA Company prospered and the market share grew steadily.
In 1959, after fifteen years of steady expansion the industrial conglomerate Litton Industries purchased SWEDA. THis initiated a long period of ownershio changes, mergers, and finally bankruptcy.

It is worth mentioning is that during the late 1980´s the merged company Hugin-Sweda was one of the largest pure point-of-sales company in the world.

Today the SWEDA trademark still stands for quality designed Swedish cash registers. Sweda is still well known both in Sweden and in the internatinal marketplace. Sweda Retail AB is a fully owned subsidiary to one of the largest retail companies in Sweden. It owns all trade mark rights as well as product rights referring to the brand name Sweda.
