As a former estate planning lawyer, I can definitely add a few thoughts to the presentation. I did a questionnaire for each client about this. And other questions like “Do you have pet parrots?” Parrots can live to 70 or 80, and can outlive the people who take them from the deceased, so it makes sense to give them to a very young beneficiary. ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> on behalf of Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2024 3:40:32 PM To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Dean Notarnicola <dnotarnicola@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] slightly OT: Collector vs. Hoarder This discussion has come up several times in the past year.

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.
