But you are right, even though there are some record shops, they are far and few between, It's tough to find a good place that's close.

I am a 1963 Graduate of Miamisburg High School.I joined the U.S. Navy just before I graduated and served two tours in Vietnam. While on R & R in Sasebo, Japan I bought component stereo equipment and had it shipped home. When I got out of the Navy in May of 1967 and returned home I needed to have my turntable put together and the needle tracking adjusted. Chris offered to do this for me which he did a great job. He refused to take any money for his work and told me that it was a gift for a Vietnam Vet. I have never forgetten him as he was one a just a few people who even took the time to recognize a Vet.I currently live in N. FT Myers, FL and plan to come back this coming June, 2008 for our 45th Class Reunion and Alumni Dinner/Dance. I will, as I always do, take a stroll up and down Miamisburg's Main Street and Remember the "Good OLe Days."I would love to tour the old Record Shop but it sounds like it is gone like so many good things of our youth. By the way I still have all my 45's.Allen L.
