Scott, I recall that early 1970's photo very clearly. I also have my AES catalog from 1970 which shows Ray Grenier, K9KHW, standing next to a wall of Swan boxes which was also very impressive to me at the time. I actually met Ray at the 1998 Dayton Hamvention. We were both waiting in the line to get into the restaurant at the Dayton Marriott. He was no longer sporting the his famous crewcut-style haircut, but to anybody who had studied Ray's advertising photos from 30 years before, he was easy to spot.
