From a collector perhaps? [see link below]
I surrrrrre would love to have that Junior. When I was in Sydney in 2008 for the Hoover Centennial, the president of Godfreys Vacuum Cleaners (a major sponsor of the event) promised to send me one of the two Juniors that were on display in the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the exhibition. Alas, I guess he forgot.......
You know, in looking just now through the 300+ photos I took in Sydney, I have appreciated anew what a memorable, glorious time I had there. I never wrote anything much about the trip because of the resentful feelings, negative dynamics and hurtful accusations that swirled around my being invited by the Hoover Company to go there.
I have always been very sorry that that once-in-a-lifetime journey was clouded by such sorrow. If I could have foreseen the fallout that was going to rain down from my going there, I probably wouldn't have gone.
One of these days, I really should put up a web page about that incredible experience... one of these days.......
Oh well, I'm not going to open that sad and dark chapter again.
Meanwhile, I sure would love to have one of the original Hoover Juniors! Maybe one of these days there'll be a big box from Aussieland waiting for me down at the church...
