Sidney Younis says he started salvaging items from the garbage when he was eight
or nine, a poor kid rescuing hockey sticks and old bicycles from the trash-bins
of Alta Vista. One day, he found a transistor radio a neighbour had tossed out.
He and a buddy put new batteries in and, away it went, playing tunes in their
“clubhouse.” The neighbour, described as an old grump, walked by with his dog
and saw the boys playing their new find in his mom’s garage. via
