Subject: Big But Sad Annoucement ...

Gentlemen,

I recently had a sad conversation with Jon Searle recently. Now that he is out
of the Commodore business he has a lot of stock to get rid of. Jon has told me
that if anyone can stop by before Saturday, May 28th, with empty boxes in hand,
Jon will literally GIVE his stuff away. If all of his stock does not go to
people who want it, he will end up CURBING the entire inventory by May 28th.

If anyone can, please stop by and get his stuff. We at the Roach home cannot
find any storage space for such a large inventory. His collection covers
almost his whole basement and half of his garage. If you cannot get to his
place by then, and I know some who will get this email cannot, then please
either email Jon a t fuzzybrain(at-no-spam)wwr.net or call him at 816 229 6576.
Calling would give you a better bet since Jon does have an answer machine and
his email capabilities are a little iffy.

It's sad to see this era of Commodore here in the KC area disappear, but I
understand Jon's position in this and I pray someone can take it up and keep
Commodore sales going in this area.

Jesus Peace,
Lenard

David, he's east of Kansas City; I'm on the Kansas side in a suburb of
KC. I'm about a 45 minute drive from him, but most of it is interstate
highway.

KC was mentioned in the original post. Just a guess, but this might mean
Kansas City (USA).

Change is inevitable,

To the person in Tennessee that will be up next weekend:

I've already been out to see what's there, mainly to pull the Commodore
Plus/4 stuff and get an idea what kind of space would be needed to
store this collection. Once I got there, the owner said that someone
from Tennessee would be up next weekend in a station wagon to take
whatever remains.

I'm not a greedy person, I told the owner that I would split the
collection with you, but I have no way to contact you, not even a name.
The only other item I know about you is that your wife was recently in
an accident and you thought you should stay with her this weekend.

If you get this message within the next few hours, please let me know
here or at doctorduckie at gmail dot com what items you are
specifically interested in. If the owner has them I would be more than
happy to leave them for you. (I know if I was driving across three
states I wouldn't want to pick up a carful of junk.)

Thank you, James. I'm the one heading up from Clarksville, TN to
collect the C64, C128, 1541, 1571 hardware and also he's going to hold
some REUs for me as well as power supplies of various sorts. I was also
wanting to go through the software collection. I should be there about
4 pm on Saturday if you would like to go there at the same time as me
and we can negotiate who gets what.

You can reach me by emailing payton (at) paytonbyrd (dot) com and I'll
give you my phone number so we can coordinate by phone.

Thanks for not just going and raiding things. I've been worried I might
make the trip for nothing.
