    when my dad was my age (well maybe a few year older) he was telling me the same thing... He was a electronics teacher at EI here in PA... sadly he lost his battle with diabetes at the age of 52.

    First CB I ran in a truck was older than me....hand-me-down from my grandpa, who pulled it out of his truck when they came out with the 40 channel radio.

    Ran it until someone decided they needed it more than I did....I friggin' HATE thieves.

    Anyway, it was an old Royce....looked just like this one:
