Jeff, Charles Richard and others, As you can see, I've already started posting here since the members at vacuumland can't handle a forum. I, as always, will be the paragon of virture! PS---Charles, if they only knew!

Agnes, Two solutions: put wheels or casters on the trunk and pull it behind OR find some good bungie cords and attach it to the roof. Even better yet, take it to Ida's and have her bring it in our new car. (See photo) I'm sure you heard we had to replace the Isotta Frachini. And this new one...

Concetta shows us the length of the double flex hose that was standard with the Hoover 64. The only model of that era to have it's own name: The Citation.

Concetta and the "Hoover Herd!" Come a tie-yi-yippie-yay!

Helen and the Hoover 61.

Concetta operates a beautiful, newer Tri-Star that Fred Nelson gave me. Wonderful daily driver.

Concetta operates the Eureka. No model number is on the machine but we think it is from approx. 1935ish.

This was my Grandmother's vacuum from 1972 and it is still going strong. Of course, it's an Air-Way!

Concetta operates the Air-Way Mark II 88 with the current "Quiet Series" power nozzle.

Since Vacuumland is temporarily on hiatus, if Robert doesn't mind, we want to share our fun here where we started before Vacuumland. (Robert, can we shack up here again for a while?) Anyway, Concetta Slattz, (aka Terry Lattz), flew into Charlotte yesterday to get the ball rolling. We are...

Somebody said something earlier about posting on Vaccumland.com. Well, come on over people! Robert designed the site and we have lots of bandwidth as far as I know. And, the truth be known, many of you like vacuums in addition to washer/dryers/dishwashers/ironers/irons/blenders/mixers/waffle...

Billie Blackstone, my father-in-law. What a great guy and like a father to me. Co-workers Irma Navarrete and Don Wagner. Two of the best people you would want by your side. We sure had some fun working the aisles of those 757's!

Hi Austin! Oh darling, just consider me one of the chief kooks out there! As you know, a Hoover brushroll and it's helix gets my motor started! Life is so short and such a gift that I just want to enjoy. Like Mame said, "Life is a smorgasbord and most poor suckers are starving." I'm making...

Likewise and we thank you.

Oxy.......... Guilty as charged. Yes, I am air-waycharlie of VCCC fame or shame. AKA Helen Lawson, star of stage and film. I have leant my stardom to help the cause of preserving our vacuum heritage. I was a poster on this site, (as well as the other VCCC folks), as a guest of Robert S. until...

Pete, Shaken or stirred? Gray Goose or Kettle 1? I prefer stirred, Gray Goose or Finlandia. Now for cake, how about Pineapple Upside Down, it is absolutely my favorite! PS--the Biddle Bird Watchers will have an annual meeting in Milwaukee the weekend of January 20th. The "collectiving of...

Wow! Just finished reading all the posts under this thread. Just when I thought Vacuumland had the exclusive on "kooks", all I had to do was drop in and read this one.

Pete All the pictures are fabulous and the line up of vacuums even more fabulous! However, there is not one bottle of wine in that fridge! Do I need to round up Ida so we can send you a few? Seasons Greetings! Helen

Pete and Brett I'm taking a vacation from the VCCC site due to the strange behavior over there. Things started out so well and then it was like somebody put a match to a bunch of gas soaked rags! And, I'm not afraid to post but certain folks think that if you want to engage in a little camp...

I'm one of the vacuum folks who used to post here until Robert designed our site. I am hoping someone can help me and my spouse identify this range. I think it is a Roper but would like confirmation. This picture was taken in June of 1972 in Cicero, IL. The lady is my "mother-in-law", and the...
