[Boatanchors] Cart Machines

[Bob W5UQ]

For SURE!!!!

When asked what I did in the evenings and weekends, my typical answer 
was,  stay in groups going anywhere.
We went to our motels and stayed there or went to Philly and visited TV 
stations.  On weekends we went to Atlantic City...

The city park across the street was a drug infested hangout.   When 
asked how far from the front door of RCA was it to the bus that picked 
us up, my answer was, "almost 20 seconds"....
Usually I was then asked what I meant by "almost"... I said that "no one 
had made it yet"...   grin, grin.

We went everywhere in groups and stayed in at night.   But of course 
when staying at Cherry Hill Hotel, it was great.
