I remember him, Bill. He's been in the clink for 2-3 years now at
least, hasn't he? His name is on the tip of my tongue. I recall it
took quite a while to get them to do anything about him, but when they
did, they made sure he got the point. Of course, this is another
advantage of the 'eyeball-to-eyeball' approach - pay when you pick up
and save getting ripped off.

BTW, we haven't spoken since the visit, but both my YL tour guide and
I enjoyed your museum emmensely. Never saw so many Hallicrafters
Village and field radios in one place before! I've sent your info to a
couple of other interested parties since, hope they get to stop by and
take a look .Also to a guy who wanted to discuss the coastwatchers
radio with you.
