In the late 1990s a customer of ours came into our shop with an old Bobby Jones Golf Club score card.  At the time Pete was out on a lock-job so Mr. M. explained to me that he figured if anyone in this town could date this card he was sure Pete could.  He also told me to tell Pete not to bother with the library because he's already exhausted all of their resources.

Within 15 minutes of his return to the shop, Pete called Mr. M. with the year of the card, 1952.  The score card had an advertisement from Williams Stationery stating that they had served Sarasota for 28 years.  Pete then looked in some old Sarasota High School Sailor's Logs for the advertisements in the back of the books and came upon an ad for Williams Stationery in the 1952 annual stating it had served Sarasota for 28 years.  Mystery solved.  Life is good.
