[STEVEN HOLDING <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

I bought my BW Raymond in a hock shop in Dothan, Ala. on my first 3 day pass 
while working for Uncle Sam.  Didn't make much money so had to make two 
payments.  That way I was ready when I got out and a new job with BN.  Trouble 
is today the watch pockets have shrunk and it will not fit.  After trying to 
sell it at a couple shows with no takers my oldest son decided he wanted it.

I bought my B.W. Raymond from the "watch salesman" in the Edgemont Depot in 
1977.  I'm first owner, and I still use it.  The other day I was winding 
it...which I do at 10:00P, give or take, every day.  My young Conductor asked 
how old it was.  I told him it was made before 1977.  Then....the question that 
almost knocked me out of my seat: "Can you still get batteries for one that 
old?"
