So this is how we started? Well, I'll be snoogered.
Robert went to the Cape to buy some washers from a guy he didn't know, answering an ad or something, the guy was Jon Charles, and thus the seed of Automatic washer was planted.
This is as cool as the Immaculate Conception--maybe even cooler!
Hoooooooooo lee Feeeceees! Amazing.

Oh, wow, and to think at about that time, Hubby and I had just bought our second country home and were already arguing about my 1978 Kenmore Dishwasher and 1951 Hotpoint wringer washer (long gone, alas) being there.... LOL
Thanks for sharing these photos, Jon!!

Robert had found us on the early washer site over at Yahoo that Jeff set up and is still running. We talked on the phone and I talked him into coming out. He and Stephen Whatshisname made hotel reservations as they were scared we might be weird!Well they were right about that, but when they got here they threw in the towel, cancelled the reservation and stayed with me.
Poor little Prairie Deers!
Cal is working on a history of the club for us.

That Yahoo site didn't get started for more than two years after these pictures were taken. No one had hardly heard of the internet '97. I met Gary Weibel at a party who was friends with my boyfriend's brother in the fall of 1996. Gary knew John Lefever through Chuck's People magazine story. Gary and I became friends and we made the trip in Feb '97 to Cleveland to Bob Salem's house where I first met John combo52, Tomtubomatic and Bob Salem. John suggested that I call and chat with Jon and the rest is history.

Hey Louis, SRVAA "The Society for Restoration of Vintage Automatic Appliances". Yes we did, even had that name on the website for quite a few years, but no one really used it and it didn't stick so I took it down.

BTW, talk about Donald. IIRC he was at the 2001 convention dinner. But I don't think he ever was a member here or on the Yahoo group.

So whatever happened to Don aka Studly Woofman? Is he still around?
Vintage blast...
oh I wonder what else will come forth with the scanning and editing of vintage footage....the years have moved on but the hobby continues thankfully...
Pity Bob Salem isnt on here, another wealth of information, and was great to see his collection @ the Hoover 100th, did enjoy his Westinghouse FL with the home made added sudsaver and watching his new Speed Queen, I have some footage of that somewhere with me and Terry sat in front of it for the full cycle!!
