WEEK 42 OF 2008-OUR 28TH
YEAR
WHEN MACY'S SENT THEM TO GIMBELS
THERE WAS A
TIME IN OLD NEW YORK WHEN ANY VISITOR TO THE BIG APPLE HAD TO SHOP AT MACY'S ON
34TH ST AND ARCH RIVAL
GIMBELS JUST
ACROSS THE STREET. THOSE GREAT DEPARTMENT STORES WERE NOT JUST FOR THE
"OUT OF TOWNERS" BUT THE PLACE FOR THE LOCALS TO SHOP
ALSO.
THIS WAS SUCH A
FAMOUS RIVALRY THAT IT WAS EVEN BROUGHT TO THE SILVER SCREEN IN THE HOLIDAY
MOVIE CLASSIC....
THE YEAR WAS 1947 .. M ON 34TH WAS
THE #1 HOLIDAY MOVIE AND IN OUR OPPINION THE ORIGINAL TODAY, 2008, IT STILL
IS #1.SEE, THE
GENTLEMAN THAT PLAYED SANTA CLAUS FOR MACY'S, KRIS KRINGLE, REALLY WAS
SANTA. MR. MACY, THANKS TO THE STORE PSYCHIATRIST, DR SAWYER, WAS
CONVINCED KRIS WAS NUTS AND WAS PUSHED INTO FIRING HIM.
BUT NOT BEFORE
"SANTA"...DID SOME INTERESTING THINGS .. LIKE WHEN ONE OF THE CHILDREN THAT CAME
TO SEE HIM ASKED FOR A SPECIFIC TOY...KRIS TOLD THE CHILD MACY'S DID NOT
CARRY IT BUT MOM COULD GO ACROSS THE STREET TO GIMBELS AND GET
IT.
WHEN MR. MACY
HEARD THAT HE BELIEVED EVERYTHING SAWYER THE SHRINK TOLD HIM AND
WELL....WATCH THE MOVIE FOR THE REST OF THE STORY.
SO WHY ARE WE
TELLING YOU THIS...BECAUSE LAST WEEK IN THIS SPOT WE TOLD YOU HOW IMPORTANT IT
WAS TO RESPOND WHEN ASKED TO JOIN OUR CLUB..28 YEARS IS WONDERFUL BUT WITHOUT
THE MEMBERSHIP THERE WILL BE NO 29. HOWEVER...WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT
ANOTHER ORGANIZATION WE RECOMMEND ALSO.
JUST LIKE
MIRACLE ON 34TH ST THE QCWA ORGANIZATION CAME TO LIFE IN 1947. WHEN WE
ACHIEVED 25 YEARS IN HAM RADIO BACK IN THE 80'S WE IMMEDIATELY JOINED AND BECAME
A LIFE MEMBER.
OVER THE YEARS
WE HAVE BEEN AT MANY QCWA EVENTS AND SUPPORTED THE ORGANIZATION IN EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE. SOME OF THE PAST PRESIDENTS- STU MEYER, BARRY GOLDWATER, FRANK
GUNTHER, LEE SMITH- HAVE BEEN CARD CARRYING "22 CREW" MEMBERS &
FRIENDS.
LIKE KRIS,
REGARDLESS OF WHAT DR. SAWYER WOULD SAY WE ARE NOT CRAZY. THE "22 CREW"
RECOMMENDS YOU JOIN QCWA. GOT 25 YEARS TOTAL IN HAM RADIO? THINK ABOUT JOINING
QCWA. JUST TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR YOU HERE IS THE
MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION AND YOU WILL NOTE AT THE BOTTOM WE HAVE ALREADY
"PROPOSED" YOU, PRINT IT, FILL IT OUT AND SEND IT
IN:
SPEAKING OF
GREAT RADIO ORGANIZATIONS...JUST LIKE THE "22 CREW", THE RADIO CLUB OF AMERICA

REPRINT FROM APRIL 1910, THE NY HERALD NEWSPAPER. IT WAS THE BIRTH OF
RCA:
The Junior
Wireless Club Limited becomes the Radio Club of America
After
the above article appeared, a committee was appointed to go to
By
1911 the interest in amateur radio was beginning to grow by leaps and bounds and
while the original membership of the club consisted of some five active members,
by this time it had more than doubled. These young boys were the leaders of
amateur radio in and around
MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND THE
99TH ANNUAL AWARDS BANQUET ON
