Rocketeers,
For those of you who from time to time frequent the local hobby shops here in B'ham, I wanted to let you know about Mr. Spivey (age 75) who owns the oldest hobby shop in the state, some 45+ years. He recently had some heart problems and now has a pace maker and stints. His health seems to be slowly improving after several weeks of hospitalization and he hopes to be back in the shop soon. He's had several medical problems in the last 5 years. His wife (age 75) is running it almost single handed and says they will remain in operation as long as possible and he hopes to return in the next few days.
Spivey's Hobby is a full service hobby shop. If you are ever in the B'ham area, it's worth the trip to the West End section of town to visit him and the shop. Visiting the shop is like stepping back into the late 50's, early
60's. He is one of us and he knows everything there is, or ever was to know, about any hobby men enjoy. Rockets, trains, remote control everything, you name it, he's got it or can get it and tell you everything about it. He is very friendly and running that shop is his life.If you get to B'ham anytime soon, take the time to visit. You'll be glad you did.
