Nah, I bet someone left the camera chip out and Allison swallowed it, so they're watching the litter box... :lol:

The XP-82 Project page posted today on Facebook that Margaret (Peggy) Soplata passed away.
She was Walter's widow and they were the previous caretakers of the XP-82.

Sorry to hear this: I hope the final resolution of the collection is a positive one.

Agreed. I didn't see that when I made my previous post. Sad news indeed.

Condolences to the family and friends of Peggy & Walter. Peggy passed Feb. 26th and as of now there are no immediate plans on what is going to become of the collection.

"Magnificent" hardly seems like worthy enough praise for the work being done so I will throw in an "awesome" as well!
