I used to have my microfiche swimming in a microquarium.
Well, remember microfilm and microfische?
The bike must have been in mint condition and a real beaut for them to have been so interested. What is the follow up on this story? Is it a major theft ring operating between wealthy Japanese people and US underworld? Anybody know? Any arrests?
My military records were destroyed i n a fire in St. Louis in 1973, if they hadn't been stored on micro film in D.C., there would have been nothing to show that I had ever served.
It took me about 6 months to get my DD214 in 1975, in order to get a V.A. loan.
Jump forward to about 2007 when I needed it again for S.S. and it took me about 3 days to get it.
