     Aviation Corporation

Big Crosley art'l just published in AWA Journal.  But all technical
& centered about Crosley wire- and motor-head achievements.  Most
of you know his little amazing ohc car motor, & the shelvadors, &
the SuperVs, & the SCR-284, & the gasoline prop-twisters, & WLW 500kw, &
THE  CINCINNATI  REDS  @  CROSLEY  FIELD.

But d'ya think AvCo was an earlier-day financial nifty?  Like TyCo, etc.

Have a Cincy pal that grew up going with his dad to Powell Crosley's 
"north woods camp."  That dad & PC were tall, very tall.  6:4+
Pal was too young then & didn't remember nature of "man talk" while
PC & dad were "yukin it up."  Pal's dad left lotsa PC fotos & notes
but pal's sister tossed "all that old $h!t" years back.  Has that
ever happened before?

Bill Strangfeld might know.  And so too might PC's surviving daughter,
but why woud she say?
