Fran is an interesting character. She's actually 83 years old. That kind of explains her love of old timey electronics.
I wonder if Fran knows anything about Midland CB radios?
My late friend Jack did. He was running a CB repair shop out of a little trailer behind his house a block East of where I'm living. He was an engineer for International Harvester, before that. He was also a dog-nuts crazy amateur radio operator. RF was his bailiwick. He died sometime in the 80s from asbestos (mesothelioma) that he probably got in the Navy during WWII.

That sucks.
Did you know the Twin Towers were contaminated with asbestos? It was not removed, but abated.
When the towers went down all of the asbestos went up into the atmosphere.
Also, in the old days they would cover hot water pipes with asbestos wrap to keep the heat in. If you punctured the outer wrap it would release some of the asbestos inside.
I imagine there are other sources for this type of hazard around that we have no idea exists. ;)
