Thanks to Chris Hughes for his posting of the Memorial Salute to the acclaimed
armored vehicle restorer and preservationist.

Chris's posting also reminded me of a matter of curiousity that has bugged me
for quite a few years. So, I pose it to you all to figure it out.

I'm guessing, the time of the matter of the deal occurred in the 1990's.
The Army, or some fractional interest thereof, was interested in obtaining a WWI
armored vehicle for a collection. Perhaps a museum. I understood that a
collector had the wanted vehicle, but would only trade if something of his
interest would be given.

That is all that I can recall. I did not read of this in a newspaper, but heard
via word of mouth. Only, I'm not sure if was when I was at Fort McCoy,
Wisconsin during Task Force Desert Fix, or some other National Guard temporary
duty...Hmmm, maybe even Texarkanna.

My active imagination has me guessing that Fort Knox was the place that wanted a
WWI tank or vehicle. Since, they have a Mark I or IV tank there on display that
I've not heard of them ever possessing before.
As for the trade. Once again, my imagination has it being a decommissioned M1.
Once again, just my imagination.

So, what are the facts, Forum Members???
