This discussion has come up several times in the past year. I'm wondering if I should expand/update and repeat my VCF talk from a few years ago on the lifecycle of collections; establishing, maintaining and final disposition. Thoughts? - Dean On Wed, Aug 28, 2024 at 9:29 AM Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Yes, I do know the distinction between you personally and the organization. I thought of that as I was typing, but figured it would still get the point across. Sorry if my phrasing distorted the situation.

Thanks for the props, but remember that LSSM is not "Dave's stuff". I have my own computers at home. Nearly all of my (computer) stuff will go to LSSM when I kick the bucket.

enjoy our collections while we are still alive. McGuire is a perfect example of this, and I am not. Someone want to come over and help me organize my storage unit(s)? ;-)

My bad, Dave! It was Mike Rosen (Sentrytv) responding to your message who pointed this out, and I mixed up who said what! - Bob

This is precisely why I started to sell off my collection, and as Dave McGuire pointed out it?s the people who come after we?re gone that will have to deal with it! As I stated on the front page of my sales page: "There comes a time when one's collection overwhelms the ability to store or maintain it ... I imagine the pain of my family in having to do this after I'm gone!"
I certainly wasn't the one who pointed that out. I was the one advocating for finding a compatible spouse to begin with.
If fat, funny-looking, high-maintenance "me" can do it, any guy can.
