Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 268781, member: 4552"]One rather disturbing thing I remember is way, way back I had a neighbor that was a rather gun nut. He started me on guns. He was a small arms instructor in the Army. I was young back then. We went to gun shows, shooting ranges, gun stores. Then he came down with Cancer and eventually passed away. His wife and her relatives sold off everything of his for a few thousand dollars to someone that buys up estates. There was a massive amount of Walther , Lugers, Mousers, from WW11. Also, a vast amount of US Army types like the M1, M1 Carbine, 45 Auto, etc. More ammunition than most gun stores, cleaning and gun smitting tools. Possibly a fortune and all went for a few thousand due to ignorance of an items value. This is what worries me with my coins, cars, knives, etc. One more reason to give now to the younger people that can learn from it all. As to my humor, hey, why be serious now. It's time to have fun or at least try. The kid I've been sending things to is in Nebraska and I have no idea of who he really is but I know he loves coins and has written articles about them. So now it's his turn to carry on as with so many other YN's. And yes I will still be here for a long time thanks to the great doctors at the Univerisity of Chicago Hospitals. I hope.[/QUOTE]
