[Hallicrafters] Airplanes & Halliscratchers

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Oh, I dunno Jim - he seemed to have no trouble slipping away to see
Marilyn when the mood struck him. I suspect those guys in the black
suits with the big guns could take care of him just fine. Presidents
go to "nasty" neighborhoods often enough, great photo and PR
opportunities.

But again, I don't remember *exactly* where he supposedly got it
(hence the question mark), only that he picked it out. If/When I
locate the source, I'll post it here for all to enjoy. Until then,
please feel free to refer to the 'story' reference to avoid furthur
difficulties. (o:
