True story...

So I purchased a pinball machine from a lady whose husband had died.
She gave me some boxes of parts, I opened them and cried.
Thoughts that crossed my mind, as I discovered this find:
This man cherished this game, now its mine.
Its a tradgedy to me that he ran out of time.
I am a witness to everything he poured into the preservation of history, and now the task has been passed to me.
I pledge to do my very best to take care of the rest of what he could not see through.
Dear sir in pinball heaven, i raise my glass to you, and hope that you approve.

When I die there will be a stipulation in my will that says my wife has to keep my games, maintain them and play them at least once day or she gets nothing!

Just remember, guys, that whenever you die your wife will be selling all your games for the ridiculously low prices you lied and told her you paid for them.

I've been on the other side of that. About a year ago my dad died. Mom wanted his games out so I had to sell them. It sure hurt to let them go. (No room at my place for them) I did keep the pinball from his favorite game though.
