[Heathkit] Burnstein Applebee catalog is sold

[Donald Spoon]

I lived in Trenton MO at the time and trips to Kansas City were a rare 
treat... mainly to visit the Federal Building for a license upgrade to 
General for me or my buds.   I ran with a pack of new hams at the time. 
   I visited McGee Radio every time I went just to "window shop", but 
couldn't afford to buy much.  I loved the place...  I wasn't on first 
name basis with the proprietor, though.

Surplus Shops like that were great... we need more of them.  I found a 
couple just like it in St. Louis and one in Dayton OH over the years...  
Dusty, dark, and a treasure to be found in every nook!

Ahh, memories!
