Collecting or Hoarding?

[RHClarke]

Well, that solved nothing. From my perspective I fit all of the following categories depending upon the situation:

Hoarder - Some CMP related things I refuse to share;
Collector - I have a specific (but not restricted) interest in HUPs;
Restorer - “Eventually” I will finish restoring my 45 and 43 HUPs, so if the shoe fits..;
Re-enactor - Sometime I like to play at representing a soldier of the WWII period; and
Enthusiast - I love this hobby to which I dedicate considerable coin and time.

In the main, I guess we all fit one or more category depending upon our and others points of view.

The bottom line is that no matter which category we fall into, we all contribute in one way or another to the long or short term preservation of these great vehicles. I hope that we all lean towards the sharing of our collective wisdom, and when possible we share some of our collected treasures. This is the only way this hobby will continue to grow.

Now get out there and work on your CMPs!
