Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
During WW2 my grandmother was one of those that worked part time for some govt agency going around snitching on those that didn't follow all the wartime rules just so. Sure fits the personality that I knew

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Hey, I tell you what. There are some elder folks in the deep south who are still fighting the civil war to this day.

They still live on, and farm the same section of land that his (however many grand daddy's it goes back) got after the Civil War. It got split up some what over the generations and he eventually bought it all back except 100 acres, which he was working on buying back from a cousin when another cousin stepped in and "bought it out from under him"....Talk about the Hatfield's and the Mc Coy's. I keep expecting to see the in news where these "Cousins" are shooting at each other since both houses are well within rifle range. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My Dad was born in 1941. My Grandfather was a young man but was not drafted because he was a foreman in the factory. He did 45 years and my Dad ended up doing 30 years there too after he got out of the Navy. Our hometown was known as the "Brass City", it produced more brass then anywhere in the world. I was born only 19 years after the War. I suddenly feel much older. Thanks
I only knew one person who had a reel to reel. I just saw one (Teac) in a thrift store recently. |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Interesting story Rich, they are still around and being a pack-rat I have the old reel to reel tapes from early teenage years sitting in front of the radio recording songs & making mix tapes.
And now 50 years later I still make mix tapes for friends & helping out fixing decks etc. Some brand and models were "lemon" even new but you learn what to stay away from and others who will serve you well enjoying the music. Finding pre-recorded tapes at garage sales and thrift stores was really fun. Even rebuilt bigger machines for recording studios in Nashville and shipped many overseas after restoration. Got in contact with many nice people when internet came around, wanting a machine listening to the old tapes they had tucked away deep down in the closet and so much joy being able bringing those memories back to life again. And the smaller 3 inch reels that was popular in the 60's with Vietnam era going on from GI sending tapes back home to the family or friends. I built a system for making those old tapes to digital (CD's) many became tear tearjerker's when they could hear the voices again, some never heard a parent's voice before..the list goes on and on Rich. It's been a very fun and rewarding hobby with these old machines, even Nasa contacted me wanting a deck for transfer the old tapes to digital source. For many years I thought the only fool left with a reel to reel was me, but no no, they are many others still around. ![]() You should check what model nr that Teac has, I'll be happy give you some hints or info before you buy Rich.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I think the first song that I remember was the "Three Bells" by the Browns which was of course on the radio at that time. Also remember "Ring of Fire" when it was the rage on the radio.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I took our two oldest excavators to the equipment auction this week. I showed the guy checking in my bidders card. As I was standing there I realized the card was older than they guy checking me in.
When I first started going to that auction, I was a young man. I would watch the old men bring equipment in that they had bought new and worn out, and were now selling. I have become that guy.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
What makes this photo unusual is it’s a trophy I won at a car show with a picture of my car on the trophy. I won “best of show” the previous year so it earned a spot on the next year’s trophy. I asked for one as a keepsake and was told if I wanted one I’d have to earn it. Not an easy task because the show always had a high turnout with a lot of nice cars...

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I bought these Gummy Bears. I thought it was odd that the bag only said USA, and not made in the USA. I looked at the back. Sure enough. Made in Mexico.

Photos of photos. Barn raising and a post barn raising keg party WI 1917. Wonder what the significance is of the bough on the roof peak of the barn? Anyone know?

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That is exactly what I would have guessed. Paying respect to the trees that supplied the wood the building was made from.
