Hans, I have known both you and Mike for more than two decades. We were some of the very first members of the old VCCC. People have no idea what those conventions were actually like, and it's truly a shame. Mike is an awesome guy. I've had the pleasure of being at his home and eating his cooking in the past. Donnie and I can't wait to come visit you and Donald and see Mike's Machines in their new home. Congratulations. They couldn't have gone to a better guy. You're correct about friendships being forged in iron.

Congratulations Hans!
I agree with Tom, Mike's collection couldn't have found a better home! I also had the pleasure of meeting and visiting Mike in his home about 10 or 11 years ago. Norm Brown took my son and I to meet him. Truly a great guy, great cook, and an awesome host! And his collection was the largest I've ever seen! Think he had over 600 vacs at the time, and about 300 kitchen appliances. He served sloppy joes, coleslaw, chips & dip, for lunch with brownies for dessert, and I remember we had to move vacuums out of the way so we could sit down at the table. All homemade (except the chips of course) and all delicious. He also had an extensive and well organized paper collection. Manuals and brochures were in sleeves in binders, and he also showed us several old Consumer Reports (I think from the 40's) he had. Truly a memorable day spent with a great guy and his awesome collection!
