[AT] OT: Flashback - Early Farmers Building County Roads

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

I was in the 8th grade when we got our first TV it was an Admiral 17 in. I  
remember in those days we had to put a 40 ft. pole on the roof to get the  
stations out of Frisco about 125 miles away. It was hit or miss sometimes just  
clean and clear and other days more snow than picture. Kids today don't know  
what snow on a TV is all about, we should teach them about it so that it will  
always be a part of the early days of TV. 
I have a 1947 Magnavox Radio, Record Player and TV.  It cost the  original 
owners $800 when new. A Chevy cost about $600 back then if you could  get one.
