VCCC Newsletter

[gottahaveahoove]

has been sent out into the world.
Due to mail and a cyber issue, there were "glitches"
I had an artist/museum instructor/grant writer look at it. He was impressed.
We've dedicated it to the late Ruth Hollander.
I want to thank everyone who helped in any way. Hope the mail is speedy.
Kim Jo did a stellar job.
So, check your mailboxes.

And, special thanks to Alex Taber

for helping me w/ the Electrolux history.
I think the next issue will spotlight Eureka.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I took pages and pages of Alex's notes, combined

with official Electrolux papers and wrote that 'spotlight'.
I'll gather info similarly about Eureka and write another spotlight for the next one. I believe my good friend, John Lucia, has great history on that. plus, I'll contact the company, as I did for "Lux".
Feel free to send info, etc..
Will be "fun", no doubt.

Hi John,
Just making sure you sent mine out because I had gotten the mail and it’s not there and considering you’re only two hours away it should’ve been here yesterday.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Making sure I sent it.

It was sent out, with all of the others, 70 of them. I don't know what the NY mail is like, but, recently, my mail has been awful. My niece's November birthday card got to her Xmas eve.

It has been pretty good here lately, sent out a few packages within the last couple of weeks and they arrived a little earlier than expected. Then again it’s possible that your post office might have a shortage in employees due to covid. Oh well was just asking

 

[gottahaveahoove]

You'll

get your copy, I'm sure.

Mail here has been awful at best. It is taking up to three weeks for our members to receive check orders...debit cards, ect.

Will look forward to my copy. Did you send it via email, if so I did not get it.

Got my copy . . .

My copy came in today, Feb. 2nd. That's reasonably good time considering we are both in PA. Kudos to you, John, that you got them out before the big snowstorm came your way.

That nice red Hoover Model 29 on the cover helped to brighten my morning after being outdoors cleaning snow. The Model 29 is one of my all-time favorites. I wish I had one in decent condition. However, I like to peruse all the old ads for any vac.

I leafed through the newsletter to get a sense of its content. I am impressed. I will give it a thorough read later in the day. Congrats on a job well done.

Joe

Mail is slow... I have another friend in PA he sent me a box of memorabilia from the rallies. It took three weeks.. Less postal employees due to COVID. Look forward to receiving it thanks!

Morgan,

I'll send yours again tomorrow , from the college. The file is very large, and it took several times to get it to the printer. It should be better and faster through the college.

Thanks, to everyone else, too. This newsletter is traveling to all parts of the country. Speed is not in abundance at the moment.
John

Newsletter

I just received my newsletter. John Pease wrote an excellent tribute to Ruth Hollander. I know he worked hard on Ruth's tribute and it was difficult to write.

Tania also did a good job! A great newsletter!

Loved the picture of MY purple Air-Way 55. So nice to see it end up in the VCCC's newsletter. What a great compliment to me.

[eurekaexpress]

Not to worry,

I live only 40 minutes away and I haven't got mine yet.

Andy and Joe,

I personally affixed the address labels and took them to the post office. Some got thei9r copy in 10 days.
Yes, the mail is crawling.But,you'll get them.
Kim Jo did a great job. She dug around and found old ads, graphics, etc.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

She was able to randomly take

photos from magazines, etc. She was great at getting the Electrolux photos, (I requested those). Other things, she found here and there.

 

[air-waycharlie]

Mine has not made it south of the Mason-Dixon line yet...........

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Well, Charles,

please let me know when it does arrive.

Many thanks.
