Rose (a.k.a. Belly Dancer) was one of the few girls who hung out with our channel 11/10 group (the ratio of males to females in those days was usually something like 7:1). Rose's CB career lasted from around 1974, to about 1976.  Rose first got interested in CB from hanging around her neighbor, Red Baron, who had a 1 watt Midland walkie talkie similar to mine.  When Red Baron upgraded to a 23 channel 5 watt set, he sold the W/T to Rose.  Rose talked on the walkie talkie for a while before eventually ending up with an SBE Trinidad, and a D-104 mike, through the various wheeling and dealing that went on with the locals.

Rose was somewhat of a "bad girl".  She smoked, drank, did a little dope, and was rumored to have been somewhat promiscuous (for a 70’s teenager).  She also had a bit of an attitude to go with it.  But she had a good sense of humor, and played well with the boys on the radio. 

Today: Rose’s CB career ended around late 1976, when she had some family issues and then moved away.  I have not seen or heard from her since.
