George Sweatt and Frank Cunningham designed, fabricated and installed the camera
stand and stairs, to support the Sunday live broadcast. Freedom WiFi has supplied free
high speed Internet to the ranch for several years, and continues to do so at this time
although John has since decided to pay for a second Internet provider for the main
building only. Freedom WiFi also supplied free Internet to Virginia Chilton until John
Glenn decided to change her service to a paid provider, adding more unnecessary
expense to his mother-in-law.
George also provided custom built computers, cameras, wiring and any and all related
items needed for the broadcast. One computer is still in service in the media center
used for editing and uploading the service. George provided technical assistance for
the broadcast up until John decided to shut it down and stop using some of his
equipment and still provides technical assistance anytime Mary, our secretary, or Don
who does the recording, asks for help with computer or video related matters. I would
expect that to end if John discovers it.
