The Memorial Candle Program has been designed to help offset the costs associated with the hosting this Tribute Website in perpetuity. Through the lighting of a memorial candle, your thoughtful gesture will be recorded in the Book of Memories and the proceeds will go directly towards helping ensure that the family and friends of Dana Jones can continue to memorialize, re-visit, interact with each other and enhance this tribute for future generations.

Thank you.

Peggy: I was Itek's first employee hired in Dec 1957, just after getting out of the Air Force having developed the Lockheed Agena satellite vehicl for recconnaissance payloads. I did the technical proposal for Itek's VP Duncan Mac Donald and Dick Leghorn who had known me in the AF and hired me to write a proposal to stabilize a satellite carrying a scaled up balloon camera that the BU Physical research lab was building. It was all highly classified. Then Vectron was merged with Itek in the spring and I met both Carl Eaton and Dana who had worked togethe for several years. On every follow on camera project that I ran at Itek until I left in early 1969 to form a marine electronics company, Dana was my contract's administrator, travel companion and more importantly my best friend through thick and thin. We stayed in touch via Christmas cards since and I will surely miss all of the good times and shared experiences that we had all those years. Peg if there is any thing I can do let me know. I re-founded the old company to karket the same marine safety and fuel saving products. AutoMATE Marine Systems LLC John C.
