[NJARC] Re: What kind of sound system would you recommend to "take with me"

[Lenny Tamulonis]

Hugo Gernsback's "Amazing Stories" circa 1935 had a story about a man who
had a radio installed in his gravestone pre-tuned to a radio station that
always played solemn music.  Shortly after he died, the station changed
hands and played nothing but "offensive" popular music.  It's an old idea.

A few years ago when selecting a tombstone for a deceased relative at a
monument workshop in Vallhalla, NY, I saw the stonecutters working on a
pattern for a granite tombstone that had a large etching of a Zenith black
airplane dial.  The manager said that it was ordered by a local man for
himself.  I always wondered who the person was.  It's a much better idea
than a sound system. (Gad! He really must have loved Zeniths!)

Hi Bill,

You will want to take one that runs on batteries, and perhaps a
remote solar cell for day-time charging.  I would suggest you look
for a small one due to your size.  If you loose a little weight
before you go, then you could take a bigger one.

But your idea is too late, I beat you to the punch!  1978.
