<VV> Down-sizing

All:  When people ask me how I am, my response is "up right, mobile and able
to take nourishment".  If discussion goes beyond that, my comment is that
when I can and/or do stand up straight, and then stretch, I can see the Exit
Door.  A lot of my free time, is spent dealing with "downsizing".   My
"first love" was WWII aircraft, being born while that unpleasantness was
still active.  In about the 7th or 8th grade, I discovered Sports Car
Quarterly by Peterson Pub.  Then I found Sports Cars Illustrated (later C&D)
and R&T.  I was off to the races metaphorically.   By the 9th grade, I was
ripping magazines apart, saving what pages as I desired.  Today, after
selling and/or giving much of my literature collections away, I still have
so much stuff.  If I were to depart this life as we know it suddenly, my
daughters would not be happy with me for leaving so much stuff behind.   

I recently went thru all my Corvair material.  And made a list of such.  It
went to ten pages.  Some of the magazines on the list pre-date the actual
introduction of the Corvair.  

If you would like a copy of my ten pages of material, please e-mail my at
ricebugg at comcast.net.  I'll be happy to send you the list.  Be warned, the
entire list is not cheap.

PS:  Do not even ask what non-Corvair material is in the 16 drawers of 4
file cabinets. Hint: it is mostly sports car and racecar stuff...and
airplane stuff.
