Thank you, so much.


I have some pre-op stuff Friday,  Stress test in the cardiac hospital Mon.  I'd climb onto the table right now, if I could. It's been a long time coming.

  I was talking with Tom Anderson last night.  He just had  a little bit of surgery.  THANKFULLY,  he's making amazing progress.  We're planning my Hoover 'pilgrimage', if you will, in August. I'm sure things will be ok by then.

  He was telling me about his friend, Rosemary, who worked at HOOVER.  One of her jobs was in the "Convertible" area.   She has lots to tell.  You may or may not realize it, but,  the "Convertible" design actually began in the 1940s.  I have the photos of "experimental design"  model X. which shows the Convertible with a 'handisac', different handle bail, very different attachments, etc...........So, it was on the drawing board long before 1957.. which didn't go on sale until months after.  Just some facts ye' might enjoy.

 A special 'Thanks' to Kenny, also,  who called me last night. Human kindness and decency:  you give it.. and you get it.
