And the best part is he is not doing it for the profit but rather as was said, to preserve the history. Take one look at their displays and you can agree. Nice to see someone go to the effort to bring this out for all to see, not try and sell it for a huge profit and best of all, Joe is willing to openly share everything he has with us all at the reunion. Not only that but ask him a question about any of it and he will tell you what he knows and not try to keep it all a secret.
