Items with clear historical value are being set aside for the Museum of Flight or the Estes Company.

Listing Jonathan's items has been rewarding, but hugely time-consuming. I think it has turned out bo be way more effort than most of us suspected at the outset.

I for one think that letting the Museum of Flight or Estes having the Historical items is a great idea. That way the items can be on display for all to see and not tucked away in a closet or on a shelf in someone's Rocket Room. Way back when Jonathan was collecting these items they were not that rare and he collected for several years. But the compulsiveness of of collecting Rockets has turned collecting into a monster. I know as I have been bitten myself, I started collecting in 1978 and I would still be collecting today except for lake of space.
