I would have been a steady customer for you Great Grandfather. is the printer's chest one of those things with lots of little wooden compartments in drawers? I'd love to have one of those.

Auntie's Bookstore is now the local seller. Pretty liberal, but I still enjoy going in. They had Salmon Rushdie in for a talk last year. I wanted to go, but other priorities beckoned.

I saw my very first television in Spokane, must have been about 1952. My Dad sold televisions in Missoula, but since Missoula did not have a television station yet the only thing I had seen was snow. The show in Spokane was a war movie, as I recall. I saw it in the lounge of the Ridpath Hotel.

When Missoula finally got a television station, I was the first kid in Missoula to be on TV as a result of winning one of the first contests on TV in Missoula. I was also the first kid to be on a TV commercial there, demonstrating with my mother how easy it was to iron clothes with an Ironrite. It was a fun break from the regular fare, which was exclusively professional wrestling featuring Gorgeous George. The TV studio was at the top of Point Six, which is a fairly formidable mountain north of Missoula where they built the broadcasting antenna. We had to chain up to get there.
