if you read #3 on the home page, that  says to me that if someone is looking for help, here is the place to get it. i am a member both nationaly and locally (can&#039;t spell though sometimes) and i am proud to tell people that. i don&#039;t know if i would agree 100% though that we as an association can charge people to look at our website. i do agree though that as an association we ought to be able to find enough information to help the collector in any way we can. it is hard for me living in the middle of a red power county to find some of the information that i need to restore my stuff.  i agree with the idea that the information is out there, but it will take time to collect it all to one central place. it could be at a web site, or maybe just cataloged and on file somewhere.  but the big thing is that we as an association pull together instead of breaking off into little social groups. i don&#039;t like it when some people say &amp;quot; did you hear what so and so wants to do? who has the time for that? i&#039;m not wasting my time for that?&amp;quot; i am going to take the first step here at home and put together what little info i have and then start asking for the info that i don&#039;t have. it seems to me that the big people of the association either don&#039;t need or don&#039;t want to bother with trying to help. maybe it will take a few years, but wouldn&#039;t it be nice to ask &amp;quot;i found an oliver baler with a serial tag still on it, what year was it made&amp;quot; and be able to answer correctly instead of guessing. that&#039;s all for now from me here at &amp;quot;Oliver Oasis&amp;quot;
