my new favorite toy…
i have long searched both high and low for one of these babies, and FINALLY i found the perfect one: my brand new old typewriter!!!! i think i am in love…
but here’s the kicker…more than it just being an awesome old typewriter that still works, it also happened to have belonged to a very prominent man in recent history: john seigenthaler, sr.
if you don’t know anything about him, learn something! his experiences and accomplishments are well worth looking into (ex: being personal advisor to robert f. kennedy when he was assassinated, founding the “freedom forum”, and spent time serving as journalist, editor, publisher, then finally chairman of the tennessean newspaper). AND he was born and raised in good ol’ nashville, tn. how much better can a man get?? and how much cooler am i that i bought his old typewriter for $20?!?

I can’t believe you have john’s old computer. I saw him speak at Vanderbilt about Nashville in the 1960s during black history month. Then I saw him again on NPT talking about his experience again. *jealous* where the heck do you find such cool things?!
