[R-390] The Big Estate Sale

[Larry and Jody Cogan]

My darling wife keeps telling me to start making lists of everything I own
and their approximate values so that she will have some clue as to how to
peddle all this stuff one day.  (Yeah, like that's gonna happen....I'll
still be trying to buy stuff on my death bed"!)  When I am in my "Florida
mode" I belong to a regional club, the FAWG (Florida Antique Wireless
Group).  It seems like all us old f--ts eventually end up in Florida with
most of our collections intact.  The club has taken on the task of selling
members collections when the need arises.  This means about two or three
monster auctions a year and it seems to have worked out very well for the
club, collectors and the bereaved.  Since the 390 list is not localized it
couldnt work the same way, but I would suggest that anyone who is near "old
f--t status" consider looking for and tying into a regional club.  It sure
works well for we Floridians.
