The Apple Hero Award was a special token of appreciation given only to a select few people for an extraordinary achievement that helped the company immensely. In Grimm’s case, he was presented with this award for aiding in the design and implementation of the 128k board testing setup in the production facility in Fremont. The Hero Award is rumored to have come with $5000 in cash. As an extra bonus, Steve Jobs himself organized Grimm’s family to vacation at Disneyland and stay in one of the rooms at the Disneyland Hotel.
From the collection of Dennis Grimm.
