Vermillion Man O' the People Shares his Booty with the Community (*WINK*)


No, we don't mean THAT booty -he's been sharing that freely for years!!

After much nagging and whining and threats and bribes, A. Fish (Ladies Man - Man's Man - Man About Town) finally agreed to put some of his many pop-cultures treasures on display - Yes, it's "Al Fish's Kitsch-llection!"

And where better to do it than the public library - Vermillion's cultural hotspot!

Already the display has attracted a lot of attention - from the squeal of delight from the library staff to the teary-eyed nostaligia of the Baby Boomers to the fascinated gazes of the under 10 crowd.
This collection is only the tip of the iceberg and further installments are being negotiated.

What a score for the library. Seeing the yellow phone reminded me of a photo-op from yesteryear...

I still say Al should just park the trailer in front of the VPL and charge admission. It would give all new meaning to "outreach."

I assume the installation comes with a coffee-table book? Who's your photographer?

Oh the memories just seeing the yellow phone and the 8-track bring forth. I remember when you found those. I can just visualize you sitting there chatting on the yellow phone, on the sparkly sectional, pushing the button for the next track... Ah, where have the years gone? (didn't you subsequently find several more of those 8-track players?)
This is quite the score for the greater Verm community. And if you did park the trailer in front of the VPL, think of what a great tour guide Al would be? I'm imagining a very Southern gentleman.
