Dear Fellow Amateur Radio Operators,

        One of our long standing Club members has decided to sell some amateur radio
equipment.  Mr. Fenwick, N3VIL,  requested a few of us visit his home in Benedict,
MD., for purposes of inspecting his radio equipment, and assigning values.  We did
not operate any equipment, nor
bench test same.  We did, however, note that all of their equipment appeared to be
quite clean and well attended by N3VIL. Here is a listing
of gear and prices.

Thank you and Happy Motoring  

Happy Motoring was a great phrase originating from ESSO, (circa 1967).  I was a pump
attendant making 30 cents an hour.  "Ding  Ding" rang the bell, after the  '54
Willy's ran over the rubber hose (flathead 4 cyl and wipers that went back and forth
only as fast as could make your arm go back and forth, with that wooden wiper handle
in your hand). I would run out from my task at the moment, which may have been
stocking the NECCO Wafer display or manually studding a winter tire (tough work).  I
greeted the customer, pumped the gas (18-24 cents/gal in the mountains of PA),
washed the windscreen, checked the oil, and smiled during the entire function.  The
gas was sold in quantities of gallons instead of a 'fill-it-up'  or 'give me three
dollars worth'. Usually, it was "Gimme 5 gallons please". I felt like a big-shot
when I figured out that secret location for the gas cap on those darned '57 Chevys. 
And pennies made up the lion's share of the transaction, as I typically dropped them
with my cold and fat,  sausage-like fingers. Gave the customer either Top Value
Trading Stamps, S&H Green Stamps, or Plaid Stamps. And the driver never left the
car, except to visit our clean toilets or have a bottle of Sundrop Pop or Moxie. 
Remember the ESSO tiger tail hanging from your tank?  Or the classic "Tippecanoe and
Tiger, Too" bumper stickers?  With great memories like that, I can never deny being
a lucky guy.
