JUNE 2004 - MOM AND I WERE ON A POSTCARD HUNTING TRIP AND FOUND A 1942 REAL PHOTO OF KEN GRIFFITH AT HIS MIKE AT WRMO RADIO IN AURORA ILLINOIS ... IN RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF THIS MAN I FOUND A WEBSITE BY BILL REID IN UNITED KINGDOM DEDICATED TO THE WORKS AND HISTORY OF MR GRIFFIN (AKA GRIFFITH) WHO WAS A NATIONALLY KNOWN ORGANIST IN HIS DAY.

WE CONNECTED VIA EMAIL AND I WAS HAPPY TO SEND HIM A JPG OF THE POSTCARD FOR HIS SITE - HE IN TURN GRACIOUSLY INCLUDED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR IT'S USE AS A DEDICATION TO MY LATE FATHER, JIM STEIN, OF WHOM MY EBAY NICK IS NAMED FOR, "JIMTHEKING" ... MR REID INCLUDED INFORMATION FROM OUR EMAILING TELLING THE STORY OF HOW MOM AND DAD AND I STARTED OUR BUSINESS .... SO IF YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW WHY I'M "JIMTHEKING" FOLLOW THE LINKS BELOW!!
