My middle
name is Leroy. I used Roy on ham radio because Duane was confusing on
Morse code and Roy is shorter too. Besides, Duane has
106 ways to spell it. I decided to use Roy for my business
too. That was when I was a senior in high school. I have only one
artifact that my mother saved for me. It is a leaflet that I took house to
house for my only advertising. It worked and I was able to support myself
well enough to go to college while working.

Times and prices were different then. My shop was in the
basement of our home in Wichita, Kansas. I graduated from Goddard High
School in 1959. This brochure was handed out during my last semester of
high school. I wasn't 18 until the 13th of June in 59.
