I am about 30 minutes from the plant I was going to the plant today. I
called Randy before I left. He is talking to Macy both on the phone and email We don't every one try to speak on their own. Randy said he will keep us updated. Macy agrees that the data is valuable to us. After to Randy on the phone this morning,and he is talking to Macy. We should let Randy be one focal point. When we find out what is going to happen then we can all pull together. There is also copyright issues as to owns it is CCW or did they lease it from Bluebird. Randy assured me that he will keep everyone up dated --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Ernie Ekberg wrote: > > Perhaps the best individual that is close to Ft Valley, geographically, wise, is John Stiles.

If monies are needed to buy and or move the records then someone should
be in charge of this task. They could open up a paypal account and we could all donate whatever is necessary to preserve the data for all of us. We should be aware that vultures could enter the picture. There is still a possibilty that the data could end up in a dumpster. About 30 years ago one of my competitors went into receivership. The receeiver asked me if I wanted to buy the equipment. I bid on it and did get some. I also bid on the office equipment and won the whole works. In the filing cabinets were all the records for 3 years: correspondence, sales, purchases, etc. I probably learned more from those files than I did in college!! Made me lots of $$. Bruce 1988FC35 |

There is a lot of concern there to. I got my bird after the division into 3 groups do not what cause it do not care We all have one thing in common our birds. Randy has been talking to Macy, he was talking to Macy about parts before they closed. Since Randy has already had contact we need to let mid proceed with out someone else jumping there to. Nothing can be done until The bank assigns a liquidator then that is who talk to. If you have not been to http://www.wanderlodgeownersgroup.com/forums/index.php Macy does realize the importance the data is important to us. This topic there 7 pages on Randy's site. Let's all pull together put away differences . I live 30 minutes from the plant. When the time is right I will do anything to help There are a lot of issues to be dealt with: where is the bankruptcy is filled; copyright area of data who owns the data. One thing that has been suggested that we set up some committees for different areas |
