| NOTE: I have found that working on such a large project to be a VERY TIME CONSUMING task, due to family situations, internet problems(seemingly every week) & situations beyond my control. Working on The Flatwoods Museum's various collections, pages, projects & features IS progressing...sometimes at a snail's pace it seems. There are SO many ideas that I have & unfortunately I cannot get to them all....I am revisiting some of the collections that have not been worked on in a while, in fact some have not been touched since 2007 when the site was created. I am actively working on the Music Memorabilia. I have finished with the Movie Memorabilia Collection, the Militaria Collection is in the middle of being overhauled. I have began a section entitled "Bond's Memories" and am adding to that project regularily. I WILL WORK ON SOME NEW COLLECTIONS & PROJECTS AT SOME FUTURE DATE TBD. SO HERE is what projects you WILL DEFINATELY SEE worked on and/or finished this fall/winter: Music Memorabilia, Movie & TV Memorabilia, Bond007a1's Militaria Collection & Bond's Memories Hopefully, I will get to start work on the Autograph Collection as well, but we will have to wait to see on that. The "other" collections take priority over ALL new projects that are in the developemental stages. |

| MY THOUGHTS ON MUSEUMS: AS YOU CAN SEE...THE MAJORITY OF MY TIME IS SPENT WORKING ON MY MILITARIA COLLECTION/PAGES. THERE ARE UNFORTUNATELY ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE PUT THEIR MILITARIA COLLECTIONS IN AN ONLINE FORMAT SUCH AS MINE. IN FACT...I KNOW OF ONLY 4 OR 5 OTHERS. THERE ARE MANY MORE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES IN SUCH PLACES AS NEW ZEALAND, SPAIN, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, JAPAN, ETC. SO WHILE MY HOBBY IS NOT UNHEARD OF...HAVING IT ONLINE IS EXTREMELY RARE. TO ME HAVING THE UNIFORMS, HELMETS, CAPS, BOOTS, ETC. IS A WAY OF PRESERVING THE PAST & PRESENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY. I THINK BACK TO MY OWN CHILDHOOD...AND SO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I USED TO PLAY WITH, RESTAURANTS I ATE AT, STORES I SHOPPED AT, TELEVISION PROGRAMS I WATCHED, ETC....ARE GONE...MANY FOREVER... IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY ARE GONE...SIMILAR TO ENDANGERED SPECIES....THEREFORE....BY COLLECTING MILITARIA FROM FORMER COUNTRIES SUCH AS EAST GERMANY(DDR)& THE OLD SOVIET UNION...I AM PRESERVING THOSE THINGS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO OBSERVE. SO WHEN YOU ARE OUT & ABOUT & COME ACROSS A LITTLE MUSEUM SOMEWHERE....STOP IN...LOOK AROUND....MANY OF THE THINGS YOU WILL SEE ARE FROM DAYS GONE BY....BUT BY VISITING THEM....YOU ARE KEEPING THE PAST ALIVE & WELL!!! AFTER ALL..IT IS THE PAST THAT WE ALL LEARN FROM!!! UNTIL NEXT TIME.....steven |
| PLEASE ALSO NOTE: WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE CITY OF FLATWOODS, KY, OTHER THAN THE FACT WE LIVE THERE. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO OFFICIAL FLATWOODS TOWN MUSEUM (AS OF 01/2010). |
| PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE VISUAL COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS. THE MAJORITY OF THE THINGS YOU WILL FIND WILL BE MILITARY IN NATURE, HOWEVER WE DO HAVE OUR FAIR SHARE OF MOVIE MEMORABILIA & A FEW OTHER ODD & ENDS. FEEL FREE TO BROWSE THE VARIOUS COLLECTIONS. HOPEFULLY THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WILL APPEAL TO EVERYONE'S TASTE. |
