[Boatanchors] Cart Machines

[Bob Peters]

Well I guess my multiple Camden trips...I worked at a TV shop in 1961
through 63 in King of Prussia Pa... The owner sent me to three schools at
RCA in Camden, NJ...You never went out at night in fear of death... I do not
believe that there was a good hotel there... FOOD was great...

In 1971 I went to Camden for a job interview. After the interview I thought 
"I HOPE TESE PEOPLE DON"T OFFER ME THE JOB!".
