The first meeting of the group had 15 people at it and within a year, the group had grown to a couple thousand Apple computer fans. In 1984, he left the group and went to Shreveport, Louisiana to work for another Apple-related magazine.
Golding was solely[citation needed] responsible for starting Call-A.P.P.L.E. Magazine and publishing All About Applesoft,[1] All About Dos,[2] and All About Pascal.[citation needed]
Golding also published several software packages over that time and single-handedly[citation needed] took A.P.P.L.E from the beginning well into the phase where the group became a global operation specializing in software for all levels of users.
In 2002, Golding returned to the group as a chairman of the board of A.P.P.L.E. He was also known for his historical documents related to the San Francisco street cars as well as his musical endeavors. Golding died after a long bout with cancer on 2 July 2008 at age 77.
