[Towertalk] First day at Dayton - Attendance continues to slide

[Stan & Patricia Griffiths]

That's the whole basis of the stock market in this country!  It's great if
you're a seller.  My '57 T-Bird is worth about 10 times what it sold for new
. . .  Sometimes the old stuff is simply worth more than today's version . .
.  Considering inflation, it might not REALLY cost more, either.
