On a trip to Johnson City, TN to visit my parent's gravesite in the last
year or so, I saw a box truck on the interstate with the Honest Charlie logo
on the side. Looked like the name may still be active with an autoparts
wholesaler. Wish we hadn't been going sixty five miles an hour, would have
loved to get a shot of that truck as I too was an Honest Hisself fan,
especially in seventh period study hall long about 1958 or so.
regards, John
