[GreenKeys] Teletypes in NW Oregon

[Paul Heller]

"someone in the NW needs to contact him & arrange to start picking up what we Geenkeyers want and see what else is there.”  That is a tall order I think.  Just recently George was overwhelmed with Pete Lancashire’s estate and lost his shirt on that deal. Nobody wanted the stuff. At least that’s what it looked like to me.

If somebody wants to do this, I’ll chip in for expenses. Contact me off list
