Born on Christmas Eve 1905
We the people at Viper Logic have extensive backgrounds in aviation manufacturing and so today we share the celebration of our dearly departed hero and mentor Howard Robard Hughes

Howard Hughes died on April 5, 1976 the Bicentennial Year for the USA


Logic remembers where I was and what I was doing the minute the breaking news about this famous icon of America had died.

Logic remembers the day
Logic was 13 years old living in Fullerton, California at the time and had just returned from a trip to Morro Bay, California a costal town near the Northern California border in Southern California right outside of San Luis Obispo. We had just come from a visit of the Freedom Train that stopped at the station in Santa Barbara, Amtrak brought Americas 200 years of Freedom, station by station around the entire country with 200 Years of history of America on board to share with all Americans.

CB Radio circa 1970’s
Secret unveiled I, Logic went by California Talker on the C.B. (citizen band radio) in 1976, what we older avatars call the early social network.

Howard Hughes invented, created, experimented, provided, designed, engineered, flew personally even created movies and at one time owned most of the hotels in early Las Vegas, Nevada as well he empowered his teams of people at places like Hughes Aircraft Company.

Logic& Catnip just completed a Hughes Project
Logic and best friend Catnip just completed a special presented and restored 1933 gift to Logic’s father, a tri-coned Hughes Tool Company the Oil Drill Leasing Company’s oil drilling bit.

Howard’s dad created and left most of Hughes Tool Company, 75% upon his death in 1924, when Howard was only 19 years old to this first radio station inventory, that began a life of creation that is still useful today to us all.


Inheritance put to work correctly
Howard built his fortune and legacy from the money of the Hughes Tool Company into what we all have heard bits and pieces about over the years.

Logic thoughts
We hope you will join Logic & Catnip today and say a kind thing on Christmas Eve for one of the greatest creators for mankind, in the history of the world, without Mr. Hughes much might not ever have been discovered including the adjustable electric hospital bed, the list goes on and on through all 70 years of Howard’s life.
