I can recall the moment when Norman Petty called my office in Roslyn Heights, Long Island, NY. It is clearly embedded in my memory. I asked him where he was located and he answered “Clovis, New Mexico”. To my left there was a huge wall map of the USA and so I scanned the map and found Clovis, near to the border with Texas. He wanted to buy two machines. I took his order and we shipped them.
Some weeks later he called me. Did I ever get into the City he enquired. Yes, I confirmed. Over the phone he gave me an address and we set up a meeting.
More to come
