[78-L] Why we collect ^^^^

[David Lennick]

It served its purpose..we moved from there in 1983. Every house since then has 
been larger and has been "GREAT FOR ALL OUR STUFF" which of course keeps 
expanding..our current house has lots of space and I still have to rent storage 
units for all the records that won't fit here.

Enough!
