[ARC5] Seeking "Torch Bearers"

[David Stinson]

Respectfully and kindly:
If you are a person who gets uncomfortable discussing issues of 
mortality, no fault/no shame, just please delete and ignore this 
thread.  Thank you.

We need "torch bearers."
The realists among us know there are some reading this thread who will 
not be with us by the holidays.  Many of us are the caretakers of 
authentically Unique and Rare items.  If we do not take steps to 
preserve these and their history beyond our appointed hour, most will be 
lost forever.

There are Seven Billion people in the world.  Somewhere, there are a few 
people under 50 who have a genuine interest and passion for this 
equipment and its history, who can carry what we have learned and what 
we have preserved into the future.   They will be human and prone to 
err, but they will do their best and they will suffice if we prepare and 
inform them.
Neglecting to do this means all our efforts fade out of the world when 
we do.  I'm preparing a manuscript outlining the history of our Command 
Sets and defining what is and is not "rare."  Many similar for other 
systems and sets should be written.

We need to find these "torch bearers;" someone worthy to inherit unique 
and rare sets.   If you know someone who might be a candidate, we need 
to hear about him.
