    "Had" was the operative word. When I died in '07 I lost a lot of records.

    You know OP, I always liked you, but I wasn't aware you had godlike resurrection powers. How many eyes do you have? If you're missing one, should I watch out? May explain a few things . . .

    I've seen a few of those before, but it's a good collection. A really good collection. Kodacrhome, large format, heavy industry, and beautiful women: a combination that positively cannot be beat.

    Actually, it was just a matter of shear determination. I went into respiratory arrest due to a bad choice of meds by my doctor. As soon as I realized what was happening I got up, toss my wife her coat and went out to the truck, and drove to the hospital, about three blocks away. I couldn't speak so Brenda had to react quickly with no information, which she did. By the time I got to the hospital I was blacking out, so I drove up on the curb, almost to the door and jumped out. I made it into the ER waiting room before passing out and they did an emergency tracheotomy on me right there. I flatlined during the process and they jump started me. I spent a month in the hospital, during which time my wife died. So I had my brother move all my stuff down to Missouri (I was in Indiana at the time) and he took what he judged to be important. So I would up here with all the groceries and none of my books or records. [/long winded]

    Very valuable for the great detail of some of the gear as well, future restorers may wish to mine these pix.

    Bill Clinton or Barank Obama could be substituted just as easy. Time to move to the stump.

    The problem there is that neither of them just received a heart transplant.

    Thanks, Tommy. I don't care who started it, there is enough in OP's original post to keep us all busy.
