Inspired by the recent talk of coffee makers and accessories, and the fact that three years ago on this date (1-25-12) our dear friend Terry Lattz passed away leaving a giant void in my life as well I'm sure in many, many others - I decided to post this thread about coffee makers.
For years I kidded Terry about his collection of "coffee pots" and I did this publically on Vacuumland. I think he rather enjoyed the attention and it made him even more determined to collect even more percolators though I told him many times it was SO weird to collect coffee pots in lieu of normal collections such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
He collected all brands and styles - whatever he fancied and thought was unique.
I on the other hand, had no intention of having more than one coffee pot - just as a representative artifact of the thousands of items Landers, Frary & Clark made in the company's nearly 125 year history. Well, Terry simply would not have it. He was constantly telling me about ones that he had found while searching EBay etc., and was a big pain the neck until I started to build a small coffee pot collection myself. For his persistence....I will be forever grateful.
So, here they are. Just in case he's checking in on AW (and you know he is...!)I would like to see some remembrances by others of Terry posted at the end of mine, so if you would please hold off until I'm done. There's almost twenty-five posts coming up.
