Gracie’s Vintage has deals, fun, stories

KINGMAN – “This ain’t your grandma’s antique store,” is how Gracie’s Vintage owner Leah Burkhart describes her business. “We’re fun. We’re the fun personal shop.” That concise description represents a perception of her business, that is illustrated by the contents of the business. Gracie’s is filled with a smorgasbord of eclectic items. Paintings, bobbleheads, dolls, vinyl records, vintage novels, 1970s comic books, candy dispensers, typewriters and even a giant bison head. “That’s probably the most interesting item in here.

Readied for battle

Fifty-years ago I enlisted in the United States Air Force. I remember well the late-night arrival at Lackland Air Base in San Antonio, Texas. It was a hot, humid night in which all of us new recruits were exhausted from hours of travel. A good night’s sleep was in order, but were we ever fooled? The moment the bus door was opened, and the drill instructor stepped inside, this nine-foot tall, (at least he looked like he was), angry, and vile man screamed and cursed like I had never heard before. Instantly I felt I had made a mistake. The…
