I am sorry that I am a little late but I just seen somebody had a customer ID card from Risacher's in the dealer listings. Is there any way i could find them and get in touch. I would appreciate any help thank you.

Hmmm, I see I recently added that but I don't remember the source.

Normally if it says "Thanks to a visitor" it means I grabbed it from a classified ad but I couldn't find anything under that dealer name when searching.
It could have come from an ad or the gallery or Facebook or a few other sources.

These are ads from the Morristown Hamblen High School yearbook. The bus is from 1977 and the thing is from 1974.
