[Milsurplus] Display at Aug WW II Lecture Hershey PA

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Bruce

It doesn't show up well in my photo but in front of the radio are picturess
showing where the radios were installed on the aircraft.

About half way through the evening I realized I had come up with the
drawings/photos in PowerPoint then printed them out.   My laptop was in my
satchel 3 feet away from the display.....duh....  why didn't you just put
the PowerPoint file in slide show mode and put the laptop on the table....
