    I've been gone from Wichita for 45 years now. Yes, according to relatives Wichita was an all-out boom town during the war. I've been all over the world and I'm still proud to say I'm from Wichita. Great place to grow up. I was born in 1952. and went to North High and graduated from WSU.

    Myself and another guitar player friend of mine who grew up in Alaska, when we were kids and taking lessons at a music store called the Anchorage House of Music, both remember seeing a bigsby guitar in the store in the used guitar rack from about 1965 till about 66 or 67. I swear it said Travis on the pickguard though. I'm wondering if it could be the very same guitar. How many Bigsbys could have been in Alaska after all ? Maybe Merle Travis was in Anchorage an needed cash ? My E mail address

    As a lifetime Wichita resident who just happens to be pretty well versed in Wichita history, this fills in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I grew up flying as early as 1955 with my father. He used to hanger his plane on the north side of central across the street from Beechcraft. I wish I was there for this lecture I would of loved it.

    I didn't realize that Carvin and Rickenbacker had any kind of association in the past. Very intersting, considering that both companies are still family owned and have similar factories.
