The story--MANY years ago i drove into a small town in S.W.Iowa,Villisca.It was a rainy day and i spotted an old closed for business garage.This AAA sign was hanging outside.I saw an old gentleman inside.I inquired of him if the sign was for sale.His first response was "no".I asked if he was still a member of Triple A and again "no".Then i said "would you take $150.00 for it? Faster than Caitlin Jenner he was up a ladder removing the sign!Rest of the story,our son opened up their home last month for our 60th.wedding anniversary so i am giving him this sign in appreciation!Frank was born in Iowa so i know he will like it!
