Old Radios: This happens to be a true story-once in awhile I'll write one.

Picture1921 Westinghouse RC


This radio--one of the first commercially produced models--Russ and I had the good luck to find on a treasure hunt in Idaho. No doubt an astounding find, but the serendipity that occurred proved nearly as interesting

Picture
Just prior to leaving on our trip, a friend had posted a photo on Facebook of a family gathered around an old radio listening to it.
I thought, gee that's a neat portrait of the togetherness that the early electronics created.
Grandma, Mom and the grandkids gathered about the new-fangled device, enjoying it together.
 Note: Russ pointed out if they had a speaker, the boy wouldn't need to be wearing headphones.

Glimpse at the simplicity of the early radio.
In an interesting twist, I happened to be looking for Russ a birthday present; March 5th is his birthday. I saw the old photo, thought I'd order a print, and surprise him with it on his birthday. I forgot about it; we went on the trip. We found on our expedition, among other things, the radio (shown above).

Several days after returning home, the print arrived. As I looked at it, I noticed the radio looked familiar. It was a 1921 Westinghouse RC--the same radio we found on the trip! How about that?

Have you had any interesting experiences such as this? Please send them along on the Comments Form. I'd love to share them.

Regards,

Till next time,

Sue

True stories are not as good as fictional one. As a writer, I realized a lot of this. If you write about something that is true, then you will never entertain anyone. I believe that we love reading fiction novels because we want something to happen in our life. If you just live your life normally, then it will only be filled with depression, at least that is what I think. True stories are not as good as the ones we write.
