    VCCC Former Member, Ron Jones, passes away.

    <span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is very sad. I remember Ron well. Until I read Hans's posting, I did not know the circumstances about his death. I hope he is at peace now.</span>

    <span style="font-family: helvetica;">John: Yeah, that's some price for something that is not all that rare or in anywhere near nice condition.</span>   <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Charles: Yes, cooties MUST be in there. And, God knows what else. If it WAS in a barn, I would not be...

So, if you bought both of them, you would've spent several hundred dollars and STILL had weeks of restoral work ahead of you (and not...

    ZORRO SHUTS DOWN LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

    <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Actually, he looks good in that outfit. But, bad judgment to wear it to the airport (with the accompanying sword). Not in this day and age. I guess he'll have to find a new career. Or, stay away from public places that have guards.</span>

    When Do Commercial Businesses Change Their Vacuum Cleaners?

    <span style="font-family: helvetica;">And, because vacuums are not enough value to depreciate on a schedule, I doubt that they get put on a set schedule to reorder. Like Phillip said, I bet most of these government and private institutions are now buying plasti-vacs and beating them to death...

    Repairing Hoover Outer Bags with Snaps

    <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Well, never having done what you are attempting, I am in no position to give advice. But, it SEEMS logical (maybe?) that your last idea is the best. If the snap has something to attach to and can stay adhered, that would make for a stable base, and it...
