Thank You Jimmy:
I try to be a good host. When people come to visit, I always make time to take them around the factory so they can see vacuums being made. I think the treadmill and testing rooms are fascinating, in that vacuums are put through the torture test to insure quality products coming out of the factory. I make sure to spend as much time as anyone needs, to answer questions, get out instruction manuals, run the machines, etc.
I've always been the type of person who opens his home to fellow collectors. If someone is on a tight budget, I have a guest bedroom so they won't have to pay for hotel fees. There are also many things to see and do in St. Louis (it's about an hour and a half drive from the factory into St.L). Not to mention several St. Louis collectors also have vac shops that are fun to visit. Going to dinner with the local collectors is also always fun. It would be important for someone to have their own transportation so they can do other fun things while in town.
I encourage any collector to visit the Museum. St. James is directly off the highway. From the airport, there are only three roads you have to be on. GPS will easily have you here in no time.
