SOME ADDITIONAL............

   Information on the Boone junk yards moves forward. Loren Frazier, BHS-58, wrote, "Mr. Irvine is correct. The junk yard near Quinn's was Sundberg's and I do remember Lovejoy's on East Fourth Street." BHS-53 classmate John McPherson added, "I just received the April, 2022, issue of Trail Tales for the year 1942. It shows that Sundberg's was located at 1026 Eighth Street, phone number 340. Also, the so called "Box Factory" was actually Boone Forest Products and it was located on Factory Street, phone number 95." Further information shows that the business was organized and put into production early in 1941. Products manufactured by the company include both domestic and export boxes. Ponderosa Pine is used mainly in the manufacture of these boxes and dresser drawers.

   P.S. The Kornerman feels a bit quilty, always referring to Quinn's. Actually, what was Quinn's, for what seemed like forever, is now Besser. Quinn's was there, on 12th street for so long, we oldtimer's have difficulty making that exchange.

  

   I, the Kornerman, also received my copy of Trail Tales. What a wakeup call.....or should I say a wakening to Boone businesses in the early 40's, a majority of them now long gone. But, still providing lots of good memories.

   Highlights of this edition include a 1942 map and guide of Boone and that day's retail trade area, important Boone business places in '42 and a listing of some businesses who still exist after 80 years.......Redekers, Boone State Bank, Fareway, etc..Sorry if I missed some. There's a long list of '42 businesses that will certainly trigger some Korner viewers memories.

 

   Tony Crandell, BHS-59, and I crossed work paths at KWBG for a period of time in the 50's/60's and this week, all at once, I received a big box containing three great books from Tony. Two of them pertained, mainly, to Chicago radio history and the third was all about the Rock and Roll period from 1955-75. Tony indicated they were books that provided him with lots of enjoyable reading, starting when he was in  the service. I'm sure I'll enjoy perusing them as time passes.

   Also included were some K-Dub memories that provided some chuckles. He described how he fell through the roof of the Ledges Road studio in the middle of the popular "Dial Your Neighbor' show. Show co-host Roger Weber immediately commented, "well, look who just dropped in." Tony was "up there" working on a transmitter fan.

   When former employees talk radio, remembered "flubs" are always mentioned and he recalled a couple that I won't mention. However, he did remind of some real tongue twisters that were required, "See the new Frigidaire Freezer with the Frost Forbidder" and "There is a sale on the shoes that are on Schiff's shelves." Those are actually pretty mild compared to some others I remember.

 

   The following aren't really tongue twisters but they are comments that draw a laugh or, perhaps, a tear.

   I'm at an age where my back goes out more than I do.

   The older I get, the better I used to be.

   I don't do alcohol anymore. I get the same effect just standing up fast.

   As I watch this new generation try to rewrite our history, one thing I'm sure of.....it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.
