Parallax recieved a $1,250.00 donation from Linda Gracey, mother of Parallax’s Ken and Chip. Linda made the donation in memory of her late husband Charles M. Gracey (Chuck). Chuck retired as a chemical engineer in 1995 and spent the next 23 years of his life being a supporter of Parallax — helping out at trade shows, coding the BS2p module firmware, and being the office cheerleader. He drove 17,000 DEFCON 22 badges to Las Vegas in a big rental truck, too. Chuck would take customer-returned hardware and re-gift it to students, until we talked him into donating new products. Chuck inspired Chip’s creativity with early computers, tools and, business leadership on the Parallax Board of Directors.
