Bob, Thank you so much for your story. It's really cool to have mentors and people that are willing to be helpful and educate the rest of us not as advance or just in sharing information. I have several people I have thanks for through out the years I have enjoyed collecting. If it was not for them helping and providing me information I would never be where I am in collecting. The learning has not stopped for me and right now I am learning so much from Steve Medved, Thank you. And if it was not for Joan $ Robin Rolfs along with Bob Coon introducing me to collecting I would have never started and found a stable and long lasting love for Phonographs. I even have the first Columbia Q that I found in a garage sale for $15 dollars. I really didn't know what I had but had a hunch at what it might be. I took it to the antique mall in Wisconsin where Joan and Robin have a booth and that started close to 2 decades to now and takes me back to my mid 20's plus the introduction to Collecting Clubs and Societies. I have made several friends sence then. Maybe not in touch as I would like but I know I can always go to them for help and information. It's an aspect of my life that I am very proud to have and a fond affection for it. Thanks again for sharing and Happy Collecting, Kenneth Keeton

They were talking about restoration of vintage cars. I said, Milan Ohio, why do I know that? Then, yes! Don Gfell. Then Don's voice from "sights & sounds Of Edison" Yes its Don Just a little story that came around in an odway however, Don still is a great ambassador for us phono folk, whom I have a lot of gratitude for the time & phone conversations we had many years ago, when I was learning about phonos! Thanks Don for your enthusiasm.
