That is old school cool at its finest!

I guess I should comment on this thread since I believe I am the only Net 54 member who attended this early get together.

Isn't Zimp a Net54 member? (although I don't think he posts much, I remember his posts when Wayne was sick and eventually passed)

Edit: I think I read incorrectly and Bill was in the picture from the '71 gathering - not '70. (sorry)

Great story Fred... many thanks for sharing!

Can you briefly tell us how you got back into collecting after selling everything to Halper? Did it happen suddenly, or gradually over the years? And how long did it take to amass the world's greatest Hartland collection (after selling everything off in 1975?)

Fascinating stuff!

Yes it is. Great stuff.
Yes .Zimp (hi Bill if you are reading) is a member. He has posted around 40 times but not in several years.

Here is part of an old letter I haven't posted in a while.. From Buck Barker to Walt Corson, penned on New Years Eve 1956.
