Heads Up: Auction Sale: Estate of Don Smith

[Colin Alford]

All,

I apologize for the short notice. Life has been very busy lately. A number of forum members from southern Ontario certainly knew Don and the collection that he once had. Don's brother contacted me and asked for assistance publicizing the auction which will take place this coming Saturday (21 Sept).

did anyone go ? I was at the Gilbert show all weekend

Hi Frank
As you know I was also at the Gilbert Show but not all weekend. I left Saturday evening and drove straight home. Janet convinced me that I should go to the auction even though it was pi**ing rain. I took her van so if I bought anything it wouldn't get wet. Met Colin there and we both proceeded to buy. I filled Janet's van and went home to get my pickup, a cart and a labourer. (Janet). I had a good time and there were lots of bargains. Colin looked pretty happy when Janet and I left and I know he scored big time on all the manuals.. I am sure he will chime in here.

On a sad note, at the Gilbert PA show a good friend was packing up his stuff and dropped dead. It was a sad trip home for Les and I and we will surely miss him.
