Dad says:
"If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, and say he were enjoying some down time at his mansion in Oyster Bay, and let’s just say he needed a new hammer or a handful of wood screws, he might consult the pamphlet he received in the mail from a certain major national hardware chain. From that pamphlet he would determine that the nearest store is in Hicksville, New York, not so far from Oyster Bay. He would drive a few miles to the Hicksville branch, where he would then buy the very wood screws that were unloaded, along with a lot of other freight, from my truck earlier today.
Now that is a legitimate, close brush with fame. The real deal. No padding the expense account on this one."
