[GreenKeys] Hal ST-6 using it in modern times

[Ralph Irish]

To set the record straight, I personally don't remember "Lucky Strike Green". I am 'bumping' 81 in 
a few weeks, and all I remember was the red bullseye packaging. I did see a lor of references to 
the 'green' packaging, but I don't believe I ever saw one. 

My mother smoked and her favorite brand was Herbert Tarington's or something like that. It was 
a king size cigarette when most were the smaller, 'standard' size. Later on she moved to a filtered 
brand, and I don't remember what it was. 

My dad was a pipe and cigar guy. He would occasionally smoke a cigarette, but it was rare. He 
got a lot of gifts of cigars when his job dealt with salesmen, and they came home and went into a 
humidor of some kind. 

Our basement 'shop' had shelves with 'pigeonholes' he made which held about 40 cigar boxes which 
were labeled with nut and bolt sizes, washers, nails, brads, tacks, etc. I was always amazed that 
when I needed a nut for one of the axles on my bike, I could never find one. They were SAE threads 
and his 'accumulation' never had them. I had to go to the local bike shop to get them. 

For now, 

Ralph - W8ROI

You have it right although it may have been fully packed. I 
mis-remembered it. Lucky Strike was in fact firmly packed. I had 
friends who smoked Camels and always banged the pack to settle 
the tobacco. Luckies never leaked.
