murff Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Down in my "man cave" in the basement, I have a collection of the original Bill Binkleman "Fishing News and Secrets" and the original "Fishing Facts" magazines. These date from the old Milwaukee Store days..right now I don't know what my start date is - until some time in the 70's when FF became repetitive and I stopped. These are all bound, cross indexed and referenced by year, volume, subject matter and cross-indexed under the original F+L+P = SUCCESS of Al and Ron Lindner fame. I'm 71 now and have no kids or grandkids to leave them to. If there is a market for them....I would really like them to go to good home. Any thoughts? I live in the New Hope area. Murph.

Jim Almquist Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 What ever you do Please don't throw them away! I don't know if there is a market but I know my brother still has some of those copies and they are great to just read because fishing was just getting high tech with the green box and electric trolling motors. It was reading all those mags that got me into and made me a pretty good fisherman. If you want to get rid of them I will send my brother over. He lives in Champlin.
