[Rockhounds] Boodle Lane

[charles creekmur]

Larry,
First time I have heard the name Boodle Lane in many years.  He was already
a legend when I got into collecting in the '40's and about 10 or 12 years
ago I got a flat of galenas wrapped in 1944 newspapers that had Boodle Lane
labels with them.  They sold right out in the first couple of shows.
