Pilgrim Legal Status
No progress has been made in reviving the corporation. The corporation was suspended in 2007. Efforts were made to co-ordinate an influx of cash, a new customer, and various legal filings. Another small corporation, Aries Capital, had agreed to escrow the income from our contracts, but for lack of action by PCC, Aries withdrew. Meanwhile, for sake of pride, reviving the corporation would be good, but no advertising nor solicitation has occurred. An advisor has suggested to close that chapter of life. Some attempts to negotiate with the State of California were fruitless. More to follow.
In fall of 1982, R.M. Ramage, also known as 'Mars', established Pilgrim Computer Corp to handle additional projects. At The Federated Group, wiring for computer terminals had been done by outside contracts for outrageously high prices. When the FG management declined to have employees do the work, Mars bid thru Pilgrim to do the work. The high profile of the Group made Pilgrim visible to the Hewlett Packard community. Business flourished. Mars hired Mike Tedford and some other helpers. Even Hewlett Packard became a customer. Over the years, PCC had many more customers and provided the primary income in some years for employees and for Mars. Pilgrim did wiring, payroll modifications, Verifone programming, cash register programming, and project management. Pilgrim also sub-contracted under several contract masters.
In 2007, Mars as an employee of APU decided to concentrate on the PeopleSoft implementation. In retrospect, that was a bad idea. At APU, politics and various struggles sent the project in other directions and meanwhile PCC languished and died for lack of effort by Mars.
