Thanks, Robert, for allowing this in the most visible place.
We learned that Toby Glenn, longtime member of The VCCC, passed away last night. Another member has left us. There will be more info pending. we also were told, that his collection is being entrusted to one of our members. (That's a side point) The last time I saw Toby was in Austin, Texas,at The Rainbow Roundup Convention. How proud he was to be having the convention in his home state. Rest, Toby. | ||

How sad, the serendipity of the very first vacuumland post got bumped just mere days before he died.
He will continue to live on in spirit in the vacuums he collected that get passed down the chain of collectors. I found his post on the site: www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi... | ||

I know Hans Craig is just devastated. He had so many good things to say about Toby and I know they were close.
Thank Goodness that Toby made arrangements for his collection. I always had the somewhat cavalier attitude that "well, I'm dead so it doesn't matter". But it does. We should all use Toby's example to at least figure out the 'who' they would go to. I told Donnie last night to just open up the Museum to our personal friends and let them take what they want. Rest In Peace Toby. | ||
