I looked closely but didn't see "KUSER FARM" emblazoned in red on that Ford station wagon. Had it been on there, it could well have be me or my buddy Don Slabicki tooling through State and Broad Street after a quick trip to Mayham and Silvers.

Hi Tom: Thanks for the diversion. I think my first tennis racket came from Mayham and Silvers. It was a sporting goods store, right? If not -- I'm undergoing more memory loss. Regards
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was, Sally. Fred Kuser went there to have his tennis racquets re-strung and also to buy "Wright-Ditson" tennis balls.

HI TOM...MAYHEM & SILVERS WAS LIKE GOING TO HEAVEN FOR SPORTING GOODS. WHEN I WAS SELECTED TO PLAY FOR THE SCHROTHS IN 1936, I HAD A TORN GLOVE, WORN OUT BASEBALL SHOES AND NEVER HAD A UNIFORM. I HAD MY PICK OF THE BEST EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE AND REALLY APPRECIATED IT. FOR A 15 YEAR OLD KID, IT WAS LIKE HITTING THE JACKPOT, BEST REGARDS.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Mr Kuser on the beach in Cocoa FLA, I don't remember the tire on the back of his woody. I went over to say hi and let him know I was from Trenton and that I was in the AF working on the Apollo Program. It was nice to talk to someone from HOME...Trenton. I still remember the old brownie camera, with electrical tape on it, I think. Ron
