James Thomas "Thom" Hamilton, founder and former owner of JaHam Sales & Service in Heman, IL, died Oct. 13. He was 69. Hamilton founded JaHam in 1969 as a manufacturer of truck probe sampling systems. In 2005 Gamet purchased the manufacturing and distribution rights for the JaHam Truck Probe line from Mr. Hamilton. The line has prospered since that time due in large part to Thom's previous efforts and the reputation both he and his company developed. We are all going to miss him.

Gamet Manufacturing will be displaying products at many trade shows this coming show season. Coming up soon will be the GEAPS Winnipeg Conference and North Dakota Grain Dealers Show. Both will be in mid January. We hope to see you there where we can discuss your sampling system needs.
