	John Boy , My current journal is the Jan-Feb. 2014 issue with a Starline brass add on the back. Which reminds me! when most of us purchased the life membership in ASSRA well the first 150 or so the PROMISE was made that for life the Journal-News would be sent FIRST CLASS mail. The thing now comes sanil crawl with the trash mail. when this was questioned after some editorial changes I was told ITS TOO MUCH TROUBLE GET OVER IT WE HAVE YOUR MONEY. Most of us MIGHT see the add in the next few weeks.

	Thanks Bob I will get the issue someday. The entire catalogue is posted on line for free viewing but as with Ray Day I will get the catalogue also.

	I look at this auction catalogue on line every year and curse that I was not born into great wealth. Sadly it was a wooden spoon in my mouth and not a silver one. Maybe I'll win the National Lottery one day but I'm more likely to see pigs fly first. Harry.

	I'm a little more philosophical about it, Harry. Not having great wealth means I can never be tempted to collect rifles like that, which I would be required by my peers to leave in an expensive air-conditioned safe room and never shoot, or even take apart. Being limited to old junkers, nobody cares whether I replace a pin or a screw or an extractor or even a barrel with something not fully documented in triplicate as being original to the gun. (Oh, the horror!)

	Friend of mine has a couple items in the auction, so I perused the catalogues the other day. I can't even afford the accessories listed in them!

	How about a lottery/raffle? Every member the ASSRA is required to kick in $15.00. The money is used to buy a rifle from the Greatbatch auction, and then we have a drawning and a member gets the rifle. The only caveat is, since I thought of it. I automatically get the first rifle. Sounds fair to me. Kurt

	I looked up Warren. Looks like he was the son of the guy that invented the pace maker and the lithium battery, as well as many other things. I was just curious to see what you do for a living to put together a gazillion dollar collection. I did hear that he brought his collection of Walker Hepburn out for folks to see. Must have been a wonderful sight! -06

	I have a couple of thoughts to those whingeing about the Journal and the misinterpretation of what we said when we moved the Journal back to regular mail. We found that for the vast majority of members the Journal comes exactly as fast either way it’s just more expensive sending it first class. The first class designation gets you no special treatment at the post office. The printer delivers the mags to the post office and they process as many as they decide they have time for. They grab a mail bin and process it and if it doesn’t cut into their break time they do another one. If your bin is on top its get sent out first if not maybe they’ll get to it tomorrow. Given our government’s attitude that is the best we can do. I hope that Keith will chime in about the mags that get returned addressed to members who have been getting the Journal for years now marked NO SUCH ADDRESS. Either way as there is no time advantage we felt it was wasting money to continue to pay for services that were perceived but not delivered. John Merz

	Quote: I look at this auction catalogue on line every year and curse that I was not born into great wealth. Harry. Gosh, Harry, I thought we were ALL rich here! (Excluding an insignificant handful like you & me.) If not, it's easy to get that impression when folks discuss their collections.

	Wow !!! Nice to know there are other's in the same boat (as I) that would have had to develop their Firearm "collection" by time and patience while raising a family in these wonderful year's... Now as my clock tick's down, I can only enjoy the tinkering and occasional chatter that interest's me and wonder if I would have changed anything had I had the resource's to do so ... God-Speed to all... Ed....
