   Wow, 25¢ ? Pretty pricey for those days. ;-)

   Thanks, Gary. I downloaded a copy in honor of my dad, who passed away three years ago, but who was born in 1917.

   Thanks, particularly since it's his fault I'm a toolaholic. He managed on old-time hardware store for 57 years.

   I remember one of those old hardware stores from when I was a kid. Stacks and stacks of hardware boxes, containers, drawers full of stuff. It was a small wonderland for a kid who liked to take things apart (but not always put them back together again).I bet you have some powerfully good memories of your Dad.Garyhttp://toolemera.com

   "I bet you have some powerfully good memories of your Dad."Yes, I do, thanks. I worked at the store for four years during high school. That was a lot of fun, learning about all of the Delta tools, and being able to explain the difference between a Porter Cable tool and the hobby-grade B&D equivalent to a customer.
