1959 marked the year of extraordinary technological breakthroughs for the United States of America. If you remember, it was the summer of this year that President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a message via satellite communication, reflecting off the moon, to Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker with one simple wish, for “peace on Earth, and goodwill toward men everywhere.” My name is Kristi Catterall Allen, president of Sewer Cable Equipment Company, and daughter of founder Don Catterall and co-founder Jack Bollinger. I was only 4 years old in 1959, and recall the excitement surrounding the message President Eisenhower sent to the world, and the technology that makes it possible for us to communicate so efficiently today.
