John Morgan was manager of a small Radio Shack store near my old high 
school.  When the Model I came out, I would stop by on my way home from 
school to play with it.  (A bit different to actually see the computer, 
rather than some mysterious box halfway across the county at the other end 
of a 110 baud phone connection.)

He was then given one of the first "computer centers" in Mount Kisco, where 
I taught classes in BASIC over the summer.

Eventually, he was made manager of one of the Manhattan computer centers 
(the above address sounds like the right area -- it was in walking distance 
of Penn Station).

When I started looking for a job, he was working for this place called "The 
small Computer Company" on west 41st Street.
