"ROBBERIES; THE LEGACY OF BIG SPRINGS" Big Springs by Rich62

BIG SPRINGS IS A QUIET, LAW-ABIDING TOWN. But for some reason it has been the scene of more than one robbery over the years. Here is the story of one of them.

YE OLDE PIANO SHOPPE

THE GENTLEMAN WHO RUNS (OR RAN) THIS BUSINESS WAS ONCE FEATURED ON NATIONAL TELEVISION ON THE CBS SUNDAY MORNING PROGRAM, WHEN IT WAS HOSTED BY CHARLES KURALT. Nebraska's own Roger Welch did a "Postcard from Nebraska" segment featuring this man and his business. His name was Klint Schlake and the store was called "Ye Olde Piano Shoppe".
