In order to save time I'm addressing this now. Everything I own is in storage. When my patient and best friend Charles Brookreson died on July 2, 2006, I was instantly out of a job. My apartment management forced me out and everything I owned went into storage. The drama of all this was played out with a club member now long gone from the club. Sufice it to say that he convinced me to relocate to Sacramento, Ca. and store my stuff. I survived that hassle and returned to the original club headquarters in Chesterton, Indiana.
If you want to see some of my machines (now packed away) check out Alex Taber's collection in California. Now that I'm able to get a job I plan to get those machines out of storage and back on display.
Fortunately I sent a box of paperwork with ads, letters, patent books and other stuff to our webmaster when we were forming this site. Fred will give that stuff to me at the convention so I'll have facts to work with again.
My deepest love is vacuum cleaner history but without a computer (I'm using a computer at the local library) I'm not in a position to serve as historian, I do plan to write and dig research. I'm open to all questions re. early machines, we're talking 1900-1960.
I hope to see as many of you as I can at the convention in a few weeks.
