YOU WANT THAT OLD THING?

Sometimes you don't realize you have something valuable to someone until it is casually mentioned. We were at Tucks for our weekly Euchre session when the subject of our reel to reel tape recorder came up. It has been gathering dust in our garage for years with us thinking that the modern conveniences of computers and other devices made the reel to reel obsolete. Not so! Today our two sons let us know that they would like to have it and bring it into the modern world. They can actually hear their grandfather Rev William Goebel Milller and their uncle Rev Frederick Alden Miller preach the word.They can hear my baby sister Janice Rohrer Harvey give her testimony. They can hear their Grandmother and Grandfather Clyde and Buelah Bailey Rohrer sing together. Grandpa had a couple of kids songs he did for fun and playing his harmonica was special to everyone.They can hear their dad Harvey Miller sing Family OF God at Galloway Chapel Miller day and hear my poem Galloway Chapel read to the congregation. Aunt Eva and Uncle Ramon singing at Miller day. The old Chapel is gone but the poem is hanging on the wall in the private home where the Chapel once stood.The poem is also in the archives of Western Indiana Poets Corner.As for the old reel to reel recorder it has found a new home. It will be at Greg and Billies and Greg and Tuck can enjoy listening.
