Merle

I'm not sure what that gadget is precisely. It has an LP on it and looks like it's also a projector? Yep, that's my dad!

OK! folks, got it from the horses mouth.

Merle was the shop foreman at Roughm Motors in Nampa, circa 1955. He was giving a class with a 78 vinyl record and a projector. Merle said he hadn't seen this photo before but it reminded him of what he was doing. I said yeah- sitting on your ass with your feet up as usual! Glad he laughed!

Love Mikey.

Thanks for the info Mike. That was Romph Motor Company. Owned and operated by a father and son. My dad, your grandpa, worked for them as a mechanic and front end alignment man for 20 years. Glad you got to spend time with your dad also.
Love you Mike.
