Today marks the 114th anniversary of the beginning of the Hoover Co.
I'm usually in N Canton, but, it's a Monday this year.
So, all Hoover people, run a nice vintage Hoover cleaner today !!!!
In 2008, The VCCC was there in person, running around the entire place.
Fun times!!!

on the staircase. Maybe even the back stairs too. Why not?
I'll post more pics of that, too. Smile and say 'double wide'...instead of 'cheese'.

the historical center. I met people I knew from last year. Always great to reunite. We got some great photos of a lot of Hoover history.

This is the birthplace of The Vacuum Cleaner Collector's Club. Preliminary work began in late August of 1979 with me seeing the Historical center, and meeting Stacy Krammes. Second visit was with John Lucia in September, 1982. This was where we got the names of the original members. Then our first out of house, meeting. V.C.C.C. was hosted by hoover in May of 1994. That was a fun weekend.

Tom A. was just talking about

Stan Kann.  He knew him, as did many others.  Nobody had the 'copyright'  or exclusivity to him.  He was zany on Johnny Carson.  I remember it all very well.

 WE saw the great tribute to him at the  beautiful Fox Theater.  I'll return to St. Louis and will return to that theater, too.

  Lots of Hoover history.  This month, there's a lot of Hoover stuff going on in Ohio.  I'm sorry I missed Ann Haines.  It's always a treat to see her.  She's been so nice to so many.
