PREFACEWELCOME TO MY COLLECTION OF PICTURES ASSEMBLEDOVER THE LAST 60 YEARS. THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIALVENTURE BUT RATHER SOMETHING TO PASS ALONG TOPOSTERITY. THE WORLD WE KNEW AND ENJOYED SO MUCHIS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING DOWN THE POLITICAL RATHOLE. FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL HARDLY KNOW, ANDEVEN LESS UNDERSTAND HOW WE GOT SO MUCH PLEASUREOUT OF THE SIMPLE MACHINES AND THE FANTASTICACTIVITIES PICTURED HERE.I HOPE THAT THE VIEWER GETS AS MUCH ENJOYMENT OUTOF SEEING THEM AS I DID COLLECTING THEM. MY LONGTIME FRIEND, JACK TURNER, FROM BEAVER DAM, VA WASTHE MOTIVATION BEHIND GETTING THIS ALL TOGETHER.HE IS WORKING ON IT TO BE AVAILABLE ON A C/D, DVD,AND OR FLASH DRIVE. THIS FORMAT WILL ALLOW YOU TOGET IT FOR JUST A OF COUPLE DOLLARS. IF YOU THENCHOOSE TO HAVE IT IN BOOK FORM, AS WE DID ANDHIGHLY RECOMMEND, YOU CAN TAKE THE SAVEDCOLLECTION TO A PLACE LIKE “KINKOS”. FOR WHAT ISQUITE A GOOD DEAL YOU MAY HAVE IT PRINTED INTO ABOOK FORM AND SPIRAL BOUND. AGAIN I REPEAT, WE ARENOT SELLING THIS COLLECTION. IT IS AVAILABLE TOANYONE FOR THE PRICE OF A FLASH DRIVE OR DISC. THEYCAN RUN AS LITTLE AS TWENTY FIVE CENTS FOR A DISC, OR UP TO A FEW DOLLARS FOR A FLASH DRIVE, PLUS ANYPOSTAGE INVOLVED.ALSO PLEASE REALIZE THAT WHILE YOU AND I MIGHT NOTAGREE EXACTLY ON SOME OF THE INFORMATIONINCLUDED, JUST REMEMBER THAT I AM RELYING ON AVERY TIRED EIGHTY YEAR OLD BRAIN. TIME SURELYCHANGES A LOT OF THINGS.HAVE FUN AND ENJOY IT !EDDIE BOOMHOWER CHEASPEAKE, VIRGINIA
