HI
FIRST OF ALL I HATE WRITING LONG NOTES
THIS IS A NOTE FOR SOME OF THE GUYS AT U.M.A. NICE SITE
I JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR SITE TODAY 1/28/19 ABOUT THE THERMOMETER IS IT REAL
I GOT THEM FROM A TRUCK DRVER WHO WORKED FOR AURORA IN THE 60S & 70S
I THINK IT WAS 1996 WHEN I MET HIM
THIS IS WHY HE HAD THEM AND THIS IS THE SAME WRITEUP THAT I HAD ON EBAY WHEN I WAS SELLING THEM BACK IN THE 90S
HE WAS TAKING THE THERMOMETER BACK TO THE COMPANY THAT MADE THEM
AURORA WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THEY LOOKED
HE STOPED AT HIS HOUSE FOR LUNCH WITH THE TRUCK PARKED OUTSIDE
ANOTHER BIG TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE AURORA TRUCK
HE CALLED THE AURORA OFFICE AND HE WAS ASKED TO UNLOAD THE SMALL LOAD OF RETURNS TO HIS GARAGE BEFORE THE TOWTRUCK PICKED UP THE WRECKED TRUCK
THEY NEVER WANTED TO PICK THE BOXES UP AT HIS GARAGE THEY CALLED IT A LOSS AND ASKED IF HE COULD PUT THEM OUT FOR GARBAGE.
THEY SAT IN HIS GARAGE IN BOXES FOR YEARS THEN WENT INTO HIS BASEMENT
SO THATS THE DEAL
IN ABOUT 1992 I STARTED PUTTING ADS IN PENNY SAVERS HERE ON LONG ISLAND AURORALAND AND THATS HOW I MET THIS TRUCK DRIVER
HE LIVED IN FRANKLIN SQUARE L.I. HE MOVED AND MIGHT HAVE PASSED AWAY BY NOW
I ALSO MET MANY PEOPLE WHO WORKED FOR AURORA OR PEOPLE WHO HAD AURORA STUFF
IF YOU GO TO BUC WHEATS MODEL WEB SITE YOU CAN SEE THE TWO THERMOMETERS BACK IN 1999
GO TO PHILS BASEMENT AT HIS SITE THAT WAS MY COLLECTION IN 1999
I STARTED RECOLLECTING IN 1988 NOW IN 2019 ITS A BIGGER COLLECTION
YES I AM A BIG COLLECTOR OF AURORA
AND YES THIS IS PHIL C
