Yeah, my Dad was transferred there by IBM, and then transferred to DFW TX about 6 years later. During WW2, most of IBM's parts for their M1 Carbines were produced at the Endicott facility, although actual assembly of the guns was done at the IBM facility in Poughkeepsie. My Dad said that there was a display case of IBM M1 Carbines in the lobby of the building he worked at in Endicott. I wonder what IBM did with them after closing the Endicott facility. |

Yep. My Virginia yard covered with acorns this fall, the squirrels told me a helluva winter coming.
