Wheezing Band Organ at Carousel Center
By Bob Hodge

Hi,  The two ladies weren't lying, per se -- they don't know anything
about the organ or how to operate it.  I've been told that someone in
the mall is supposed to come around and change rolls, pump out the
tracker bar, clean the screens, and do the day-to-day chores.  The
ladies haven't the ability to do this, and therein is the problem, as
I see it.

How many ride operators were elderly ladies, when these machines were
in widespread use?  Not many, I'll bet!

Best,
Bob Hodge
