[GreenKeys] odd M32 keyboard

[David Bonamo]

In case anyone is interested, there was a Barbara M Pohlman that was born in 
1914 and died 2006.   Her last residence was Benton Harbor, MI

If this was a retirement gift the numbers work, the lady above would have 
been 59 in 1973, her last address was 100 miles from Skokie, Ill and the 
item on eBay is in Rockford, Ill,  all in the general area.


Interesting
