Ray, 	

Now that is funny, but also sad. Never ever underestimate a woman, especially a
mother! I lost my favorite 78 rpm records I had traded for when my Mother needed
some for a Sunday School project and took them. She thought they were just lying
around collecting dust and of no value to me. Well, after the kids at Church got
done heating them up and scalloping the edges and pasting some hand colored
religious pictures on them, they were!	

But somehow, some way, my old colored vinyl disks of the "little old witch who
lived in a ditch, and combed her hair with a hickory switch", and other
childhood classics like "The Little Red Wagon" managed to survive. For decades!	

I do not have a clu who said this originally, but I do remember one mother
telling her obnoxious son (no, not I!): "I brought you into this world, I
diapered your butt, I nursed you when you were sick, I cleaned you up when you
were covered with mud, I fed you when you were hungry, and it will be I who
takes you back out of this world if you don't shut up and clean your room, now!"

Ray, I would suspect thost particular issues of Playboy would be quite valuable
nowadays. You might even be able to trade them for a BC-610. What a story!
Another one of those "You did what?"

But my mother didn't know where I hid my Playboys so I still have my
'50s issues with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield. Tame by todays
standards, but back then, WOW!!!

What she DID get was that, while I was away in the service, I told her
she could clean up my junk in the cellar except for my radio shack which
was off limits (it was a completely seperate room in the cellar and I
had locked it when I left for the Army). The only thing not in the
shack, because it wouldn't fit, was my BC-610 rig which I figured was
way to big and heavy for her to handle. It was, so she hired a couple
kids and had my brother come in and haul it to the junk yard. Can you
guess my reaction to that when I got home on leave and went to the shack
and saw this big empty space next to the door to the shack?
