[Boatanchors] Reality Comes Knocking.

[Richard Knoppow]

     My ladyfriend's family not long ago sold a house on Cape Cod 
belonging to her SK uncle. He was a collector of antiques, 
furniture and cars and other stuff. They couldn't give it away. 
Young people now don't want anything old.
     MY boatanchor radios and old cameras are mostly things I 
lusted after when I was young. No one even knows what they are 
now. I had a Rolleiflex out in the street not long ago and some 
kid said "Is that a camera?"  Well, at least digital cameras look 
something like 35mm cameras (unless they are cell phones) but a 
lot of kids now don't know what a dial telephone is.
