Thank you SO much, Rob. I was in my last year of college in 1958, and I know I got the pages of this issue wet with my saliva, drooling all over the "goodies" that I couldn't afford to buy.

Hi Tom,
I've still been going through these, and found an article on A&R (wo)men
that includes a photo of you mother (pg. 48)
http://vintagevacuumaudio.com/vintage-magazines/high-fidelity/1958-1-high-fidelity.pdf
with text starting on pg. 122. Not monumental, but hopefully fun for you
to see in context.
Regards,
Rob
