The stationary is from
"Chance Vought Aircraft Departmental Correspondence and neither the cartoon or
the poem are dated. Just little bits of Corsair crap from the binder... Can't
bring myself to throw it away, even though I have boxes of such things that my
wife views as trash.


Thanks, Gordon. Let me urge you to get in touch with a museum to
arrange for the transfer of that "trash" so that it doesn't go into a
landfill when you're no longer around to enjoy it.

I would say the same to others in this newsgroup who have old "trash"
that might be valuable to the historical record.

My garage is divided into "Give to San Diego Aerospace Museum" and "Give to my
kids". My kids are fully up to speed on what to do, no matter what Mrs. Tossit
tries to do. )

absolutely! In fact, I would urge everyone here to go through their 'trash'
and see if there was anything they felt like letting go of, and send it to
their local air museum NOW. Besides, its a real charge to see some of your
former bits on display; until recently, the San Diego Aerospace Museum had my
Soviet flight gear and the stuff I brought out of Mogadishu on display - for
years I got comments on it.

Its always better to lose AN engine, than THE engine.
