<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnnycb09, post: 9801960, member: 27&quot;]Back in my wandering days I landed in Couer D&#039;Alene Idaho and I worked at a St Vincent De Paul thrift . They had a little efficiency apartment carved out of the warehouse and thats where I stayed for like 6 weeks. During the day we would go pick up stuff. I&#039;ll never forget the one tiny old house some old lady donated that was packed to the rafters with all this huge ornate victorian furniture and loads of bric a brac and what not. It took us 3 days and multiple trips to get it all. I thought that she had once had a much grander house,maybe she hit reduced circumstances. I used to spend nights just digging away thru the mountain of stuff in that warehouse. I found the 1st 3 books of the Frank L Baum Wizard of Oz series,all mint in the dust jackets. One of the few things I took with me when I left ,paid a quarter each ! Sold them in Atlanta for $125 each,wich was a fortune in 1979 ! I was rather sad to go because everyone was just so lovely to me and they treated me well. But I had sand in my shoes ,as my old dad used to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
