Hey Fred (HooverCelebrity) Do You Remember This? Lol

So cute!!!!

Now why didn't I have a classmate like you in Grade 5?

I gotta show this to my mom...she'll be thrilled to see that I was not the only little boy in the world fascinated by vacuum cleaners! Wish I had understanding parents like yours Fred! I could have asked to go to Bloomington, Illinois for a vacation!!! :-)
 
Ellen Degenerous had another kid on her show,

I think his name was Carl Krischbaum from Adrian Michigan.
"the governator"??
Didn't he put California in the red ink really badly?
 
Wait a minute....

 


 


 


This is making me really M-A-D.  (grrrrrr)

I WAS the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">first</span> kid who liked vacuums!   (Haa-rumph)


 


Fred is 15 years younger than me and grew up about 20 miles from me.   I just know that some time in the 1980s, when I wasn't home, Fred's mom drove Fred down Capitol Dr. (after stopping at Bayshore Mall Sears store to look at the vacuum dept.) to my house and stole, YES I said STOLE, my Vacuum Moxy.   <span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;">He took it !</span>


 


And Why?   Is it just because "he's cute"?   Is it because he knew what certain vacuums sounded like at a disturbingly young age?  Is it because he knew the names of different vacuum models ?


 


No.  It's because Fred wanted all the fame and glory that goes along with being a vacuum collector.  He knew I had it and just helped himself to it !  


 


 


 


..... and now I find out there are other similar characters who've tried to steal the spot light.  Plus a whole "junior" section, Fred set up, where young vacuum collector wanna-bes congregate to plan their vacuum Utopia.   


 


I don't like you Fred.  You're shifty one.

We are all one big family,

no need for dissention, strife, or stress.
Oh people, we're all living this life. Here's my hand to let you know, what we know, we share and grow.
 
Delaney,

You've got a big heart!
I bet Fred will be always greatfull for that! He will no doubt pay it forward.
Marklin USA used to be in New berlin Wisconsin, not far at all from there.
They closed the US office when the recession hit. Walthers trains in Milwaukee is the main distributor now but they offer no technical support.
