[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Boatanchor Ennui: Is He Wrong?

[gordon white]

All:


     If you care about what you collect, figure out where it can go 
after you can no longer care for it. There are museums for spark plugs, 
types of barbed wire, etc. etc. (If no one care for something enough to 
preserve it long-time, I suppose there is no hope, though 100 years from 
now someone will realize what was missed)


     I gave 12,468 blueprints of racing cars and engines, 1919-1976, to 
the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. Best place I could find. I gave 
4,000 + pieces of Command set gear to the National Air & Space Museum, 
back in the 1980s.


     Find some place that cares - maybe the Eight Air Force Museum in 
Savannah? The Air Force Museum? Navy Museum in Pensacola? Aircraft 
museums, etc. etc.


     My kids could hardly care less about what I collect, including a 
sterling silver service for 12 that has been in the family since 1898. 
But I care. Someone cares, somewhere.
