COMMODORE USER WILLIS PATTEN
PASSED AWAY
*************************************
Many of you probably knew my father,
Willis Patten.
He passed away Tuesday 20th April at
1:00 pm at Kindred Hospital in
Louisville. There will be a small
memorial service in Shelbyville
Kentucky. No flowers please."
COMMODORE FREE
I interviewed Willis in Commodore
Free issue 7 the PDF link is here
http://www.commodorefree.com/magazine
/vol1/commodore_free_issue_7.pdf
Amongst other things; Willis created
the GEOS Publication. Below are
reprinted the fist two questions
from the interview
Q. Can you introduce yourself to our
reader
I am 79 years young and a passion
for Commodore beginning with a
Vic-20 in 1984. I am married to a
wonderful saintly lady (Phyllis)
who, while not a Commodore user
herself (uses an emachine) supports
me and encourages me with my
devotion to Commodore.
Q. Willis can you tell us about your
magazine
My Journal is called GEOS
Publication. Currently it has been a
16 page publication, the first 8
pages of which are devoted
specifically to Commodore Computers
and Commodore GEOS predominantly.
The second 8 pages (maximum allowed
by geos Publication) is a
conglomeration of humour,
Documentations on history, trivia,
pee cees, cartoons, self-esteem,
etc. One of my obstacles was I began
getting further and further behind
in keeping up with getting issues
out on time due to various obstacles
related to keeping my Commodore
system operative. At one time my
subscriptions were almost 200
strong, but currently has reduced to
just under 50, which tends to be the
story of many Commodore publications.
