SECOND DEBUT BACK SELLING ANTIQUES IN CATLIN COURT!

We started Second Debut in 1987 after I retired for Trans World Airlines. We retired from Second Debut in 2001 and have had a wonderful busy retirement traveling, enjoying our grandchildren and doing many other things. During this period of retirement I contacted both prostate and lung cancer and am now a survivor of both.  Inez and I give much of our time helping others with cancer, particularly prostate cancer. 

 

Decided to go back in the antique and collectible business as we both missed the fun of buying and selling antiques and the fun of meeting and talking our customers.  We try to run our store like an old Country Store where you can come in, sit down and we talk about any subject, including politics.  We will be again selling antiques, collectibles, a little of this and a little of that, so come by and we can at least chat.

 

Am 77 years old, but am not willing to sit down and wait for the call from above.  We both plan on an exciting future, as we fully realize that you only have one day at a time and should enjoy each day as if it is your last.

Welcome back Max and Inez!

Gov. Napolitano has directed that flags at the state Capitol be flown at half-staff Monday in honor of Phoenix developer and philanthropist John F. Long, who died Feb. 29 at age 87.

Services for Long will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Community Church of Joy in Glendale.

About the Crane!

Left - Gary Lively from Southwest Industrial Rigging. When asked  about how massive this crane is he smiles and replies... "The one I usually work with is twice this size!"

Gary has worked  with Southwest for 16 years.

The Grove GMK5275 is the largest  "Rough Terrain Crane" that the company offers.  Truck mounted cranes for larger capacity and greater boom length are available but are unable to traverse rough terrain as this unit will do. Although there were no rough terrain issues to deal with, this  crane was just the right size for this job.

Want something larger? Try out their Grove GMK7550 550 ton hydraulic with mega lift attachments that turn it into the largest crane in Arizona. -es
