KICKER: ENGINEER ARNOLD SPIELBERG, FILMMAKER'S FATHER, A SILENT KEY
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We close with an appreciation for a Silent Key: Arnold
Spielberg is known as the father of filmmaker Steven Spielberg, but on
the air, many knew him through the years as W8IDX or W9AUM. Like his
notable son, this father had big dreams that led him to professional
prominence. For Arnold Spielberg, most of those dreams began with
amateur radio. He became a Silent Key on August 25th. Kent Peterson,
KC0DGY, tells us about him.
KENT: Arnold Spielberg had been an engineer at General Electric. He was
also the father of filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and three daughters,
Anne, Nancy, and Sue. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native was a tinkerer from
early childhood, when he first fell in love with radios. Becoming a
professional engineer after college, his earliest jobs included work at
RCA in Camden, New Jersey, where he worked on part of the company's
first commercial and business computer. Later, at General Electric, he
helped design the GE-200 series of mainframe computers. He was honored
as a Pioneer Award winner of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers.
Arnold Spielberg credited his professional success to his long tenure
as an amateur radio operator. The lifelong radio enthusiast had held
the call signs W8IDX and W9AUM. According to a story on QRZ.COM, he was
given his first ham radio when he was 12, and began a lifetime of
connecting with strangers around the world -- something that was to shape
his life.
Arnold Spielberg was 103 years old.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Kent Peterson, KC0DGY.
