count me in!
At the first meeting of the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's club which was held in Chesterton, Indiana on the weekend of May 5, 1985, that topic was brought up. It was Mike Pupek who first voiced the suggestion seconded by John Lucia. So the V.C.C.C. took on the project. While each of had a wealth of information, John with his Hoover ads, Mike with his Rexair collection, and me with an interest in non-electric, none of this was enough for a book. Over the years I thought of it, but research just didn't produce what was needed. I have heard great things about this book, and I would hope Mr Gantz turns to the old timers of the V.C.C.C. for future info. I for one would love to talk with him. So yes, I'm in favor of volume 2. A week tomorrow I plan to go to Indiana (the same house where we had that first meeting) and get my boxes of paperwork. I'm also making arrangements to have my machines shipped to Pa. where I plan to display them again. After that I plan to buy that book, and try to contact Mr. Gantz. I think the club (V.C.C.C.) should thank him for writing it for us. He did what Mike, John and I could not do. And thank you for sharing this info with us. Alex Taber. P.S. Here's a look at our first meeting. Now we have conventions! |
