So … I was going through an old storage room today at my Mom’s house where I have had some things stored for 12-15 years …
I find an old book called “Sporting Etchings – by: Robert A. Lasell Ripley” … a nice art book
I probably bought this book at a garage sale at least 15 years ago and had never opened it … so I grab this book and about 7 or 8 others and bring them home with me …
So I’m sitting around tonight and pick up the book an open it … inside the book is a “Gene Autry – Dell Comic Book” most likely from the 50’s or early 60’s …
Pretty cool I thought ….
