Moving day!

A lot has happened since my last post. I spent a week in Washington working on a great 71-series GM story for Oliver Heritage and then spent a few days with the retired service manager for Wagner Tractor Co. out of Portland, Oregon. And the big news is that 3-Point Ink bought an office building!

With the second magazine, the walls of my house/office are being pushed to the limits. I'm slowly being pushed out while piles of papers, sales literature and filing cabinets take over. The first day of spring I walked outside wondering where I could build an office building ASAP. Reality sunk in and I realized there was no way I had time to build another building. I had just barely completed the addition to my house and didn't have time for that. When an opportunity presented itself in the form of a new office building just perfect for my needs, I seized it.

The day after I returned from Washington, I closed on a 2,000 square foot office building located in downtown Nokomis, just a block away from the post office, banks, fire & police department and other businesses. It is perfect for what I'm doing and was ready to move into.

As quickly as I made the decision to do this, I also packed up and moved the magazine headquarters. Over the weekend, my Mom, Dad, sisters, niece and nephew all showed up to help pack up 16 years of accumulated paper. I bought some more file cabinets to help organize everything and now I'm rolling around on the floor amongst boxes of literature and magazines and having a blast. The only problem is, as I'm putting things away, I'm finding items of interest so I have to stop and read a story and I don't seem to be making much headway. But I've got plenty of time to get it put away.

If you're sitting at home wondering when the next issue of Heritage Iron will arrive, wonder no more. It was mailed on April 1 and people are just starting to receive them. So you should have it any day. We will also do a 2nd mailing of this issue on May 1. If you subscribed a little too late, there's a chance you can still get that issue with the next mailing. And if you want to start at the beginning, you can always order the back issues which are available from the subscription office. 1-866-552-6085. We'll continue to offer back issues until we run out.

I have to get back to work now. Literature is waiting!

The office looks great! When we all recover from being slave driven, we can come back and move more of your 16 years of literature. I hope you are enjoying it!
Love You!
