Val Golding

Val J. Golding founded Apple Pugetsound Program Library Exchange (A.P.P.L.E) in February 1978 with fellow Apple II enthusiasts Mike Thyng and Bob Huelsdonk at the behest of Max Cook, the local ComputerLand store manager. The first meeting of the group had 15 people at it and within a year, the group had grown to a couple thousand Apple computer fans. In 1984, he left the group and went to Shreveport, Louisiana to work for another Apple related magazine.

He was solely responsible for starting [http://worldcat.org/oclc/8898855?tab=details#tabs|Call-A.P.P.L.E. Magazine] and publishing the following books:

[http://worldcat.org/oclc/10009479?tab=details#tabs | All About Applesoft]
[http://worldcat.org/oclc/10010068?tab=details#tabs | All About Dos]
[http://worldcat.org/oclc/10009515?tab=details#tabs | All About Pascal]

in addition to these, he also published several software packages over that time and single handedly took the group from the beginning well into the phase where A.P.P.L.E. became a global operation specializing in software for all levels of users.

In 2002, he returned to the group as a chairman of the board of A.P.P.L.E. Val was also known for his historical documents related to the San Francisco street cars as well as his musical endeavors. Sadly, Val passed away after a long bout with cancer on 2 July 2008 at age 77.
