[78-L] Research Question: Jim Walsh

[Don Chichester]

I own an almost complete set of Hobbies magazine from before 1940, in which Jim Walsh wrote his monthly column and other articles for record collectors.  I live in Roanoke VA, a few miles from Walsh's home in Vinton; I pass it about three times a week.  Contact off-list with any questions.

> 
> Any other ideas for research would be welcome.
