Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kyle & Company

Stockton CA

Kyle & Company was a manufacturer of steel products, with operations in Stockton, Fresno and Sacramento. The Stockton facility was converted to shipbuilding for WWII and closed in the 1950s when Kyle was acquired by Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel. The yard was located at 348 North Harrison Street, which is now the parking lot on the west side of North Banner Stadium. Note that the ancient buildings on the west side of Harrison look very much as if they might have been part of the Kyle operation back then.
