[GreenKeys] Teletypes in NW Oregon

Wed Mar 18 19:29:22 EDT 2020

Are there any photos?  How big a truck are we talkn’?

I helped load up Pete lancashire’s estate into George’s truck, there was enough stuff there to satisfy the local interest for years to come.

my wife may let me go, but pretty sure she would not let me come home —which further increases the cost of ownership.

Regards

Craig
