My Latest Grandson - Austin Grimes - July 17, 2009
At age 75 I am toying with the idea of retiring in the not too distant future and finding a new home for my huge inventory, my 200+ page website, and files. A prospective buyer would need to come to Lufkin to view my inventory because it is so large, much of it is not inventoried. Any sale would include everything that is on this website, plus a huge inventory of autographs, fossils & minerals, smaller Civil War excavated relics, and much, much more. There is also a large customer mailing list, PageMaker files, thousands of jpegs, etc. The price would be negotiable. Total value exceeds $500,000.
Click on the links below to see the updated pages...
The date of the update is at the end of each entry below. When all inventory is listed, there will be the word "COMPLETE" in the description. Future updates will consist primarily of removing sold items since I am rarely acquiring any new items. However, in going through my inventory I may find some new items that need to go into a completed area. I do have thousands of various types of items that have never been posted and I am constantly working on those.

get them all posted. 1/22/2009
