Ben Koning - The History of the Radio Industry in Sunnyvale, CA.

Ben Koning is a software engineer and spare-time filmmaker whose chance meeting with the late Jack Rowe led to a 3-year project culminating in a 48-minute documentary. Working with the Sunnyvale Historical Society, Ben’s parents were heavily involved in the creation of their new $2.5M museum. Ben video taped a long-time resident, Ann Zarko which led to a chain reaction documenting the early history of radio manufacturing in Sunnyvale. Ben will bring a working Echophone radio that was restored by his father.
