[Boatanchors] Walter Ash Radio

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 19:31:00 -0400

I guess it helps to put the "e" in it. Thanks to all for the great memories. .
I really loved going through all those great old catalogs and dreaming. I also
was too poor to buy anything but the dreams were wonderful. The best I could
do then was to put up a longwire and tune my parents Spartan console radio up
and down the ham bands and shortwave frequencies.

| Dick,
|
| It was "Walter Ashe" with an "e" on the end.  Google returns some
| legitimate hits with the correct spelling.
|
| I remember Walter Ashe well...but it was just another catalog with
| things far too expensive for a 16-year old (1957).
|
| But we could dream, couldn't we?!
