Rob, You will not find a nicer man than Tom Anderson, his knowledge and love for the Hoover product is truly a great asset to this club. Tom knows many who have worked for Hoover, he has now been into the Hoover Vault and is doing his best to preserve that part of our vacuum history. There are many folks in our club who have come and gone, shared thier knowledge with us, but Tom has actually documents most of his knowledge and shares it now with us through his wonderful pictures. He is the committee chair this year for the convention, so if you come to Omaha in August you will get a chance to meet him. Tom, I can not Thank you enough for all that you have done for us as a club and for all that you have done to help everyone remember one of the greatest vacuum companies in America "Hoover" Morgan | ||

Made my very first visit to The Hoover Historical Center this past November. Vera and Diane sure do know their stuff and can answer any question you toss at them. Delightful gals with a real love for all things Hoover. When I arrived I was directed to the small building just ne of the main house, down a short path. This is, I recall, the original Tannery building from pre-vacuum cleaner days. Besides displaying the tannery tools and a complete history of the Tanning Trade, it also houses a jaw dropping selection of genuine, as well as re-creations of, manually operated vintage vacuum cleaners other inventors dreamed up. These are my photos of some... the 1869 Whirlwind

That's right, Christine, and you'll often find a donated restored one in an Old Age/Retirement home's lounge for that very reason...besides the entertainment value, of course. The teeter totter vacuum was very much like trying to master the accursed balance board at the gym...I have no good sense of balance and kept falling off. :-) Dave | ||
