THE PRICE OF GAS $5.029

Where is it all going to end? I filled up on a half a tank and it cost me $33.00! I don't dare to run the Allante'!This Wednesday was good. I heard fron the VA Clinical Pharmacy Specialist who adjusted some of my drugs including insulin. Heard from a coin dealer. Got the Honda washed in Ernies in Spencer.. basic wash $9.99.Was going to write On becoming an auctioneer.Seems so much has changed since my evolution of becoming.As a kid I was inspired by LeRoy VAn Dyke's song AUCTIONEER. It came out about 1956.I was auctioneer each June in Scituate at St. Mary's Parish.Also I was auctioneer at the Worcester coin club. Eventually I attended Missouri Auction School in Kansas City for two weeks. Ben & Josh attended with me. A few years later I attended the Certified Auctioneer's Institute. at Indiana University at Bloomington for three Spring's schooling.As I grew certain Trust Officers hired me to liquidate estates. My Massachusetts license was 2,000!So much has changed today with E-Bay, etc. ROBERT LOUIS POTVIN
