    Armed Forces History Museum in Largo holds vast collection of military collectibles - February 13, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LARGO — Nadine Piazza's home life may have been a little unusual, thanks to her father's penchant for collecting military items.

    She remembers as a teenager sneaking out to the garage and taking her dad's vintage World War II jeep for a spin.

    She also recalls "always having a lot of artillery in the den,'' she said.

    Until, that is, a fire destroyed the family home in 1980.

    "The fire was caused by something electric, but because of the artillery exploding, (the firefighters) were concerned about getting into the house. It burned to the ground,'' she said.

    After the fire, her father, John Piazza Sr., began storing his military collectibles in a warehouse off Ulmerton Road. It grew so much that in 2008 he turned the warehouse into the Armed Forces Military Museum.

    Last Wednesday Piazza, 73, and Nadine, 41, who serves as the museum's director of operations, announced they were dropping the word "Military" from the facility's name and changing it to the Armed Forces History Museum.

    "We have decided to give the museum a new name, with emphasis on history, to help us expand education and outreach programs in the community,'' Piazza said.

    "It is a major issue out there that our children are not educated about what's gone on after the Civil War," he said. "I have spoken to children from (elementary age) through 12th grade and even ROTC students, and so many have no idea of what has gone on with Hitler, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, and we believe this will help us continue making inroads.''

    At a press conference announcing the new name, Piazza also put to rest talk about moving the museum to the Harborview Center in downtown Clearwater. He said he has decided not to pursue a lease there due to "horrendous repairs we'd have to make.''

    But the current location, at the end of 34th Way N, is far from ideal.

    "We believe it would enhance the museum to have a more visible space. We will absolutely keep a new site on the front burner,'' he said.

    Piazza, who served five years in the Marine Corps Reserves, first realized his interest in military memorabilia more than 58 years ago, after a former girlfriend's father gave him a World War I German mortar/grenade as a gift.

    His collection now includes a green service uniform worn by Saddam Hussein, found outside a palace by an Army sergeant in 2003, as well as 100,000 other items, including weapons, from bows and arrows to sticky bombs and flamethrowers; uniforms, from Korean War fatigues to camouflage sniper suits, and vehicles, like Patton tanks.

    His museum gets funds to operate from admission fees, memberships and donations. More than 100,000 visitors have walked through the door in the past 3 1/2 years.

    With each passing year, the museum receives more attention, both from additions to the collection and the people who visit.

    • In September 2010, the family of Marine Corps 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez, a Korean War hero and Tampa native who received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his work protecting his troops in Incheon, donated his uniforms and personal correspondence.

    • In January 2011, a private donor gave the museum a Russian MiG-21, a supersonic fighter jet displayed near the front of the facility.

    • On July 5, 2011, Gov. Rick Scott chose the museum as his venue for a press conference to sign pieces of legislation to benefit active military, veterans and military families.

    However, it is clear that the museum's lack of visibility, as well as lack of auditorium space, presents challenges, according to Nadine. The family, which includes Piazza's wife, Rosemary, and six other adult children, would consider moving the museum to a nearby city.

    "All of Tampa Bay is near and dear to our heart,'' she said. "We are open to any option and any partnership.''

    Teresa Brydon, economic development manager for the city of Largo, hopes the museum will stay put.

    "The city wants the museum to stay in Largo. We'll help them in any way we can,'' Brydon said. "We'll help them network to organizations and businesses that can provide support and more exposure. We'd also provide assistance in locating a different building in Largo that best suits their needs.

    "Whatever we can do, we'll do,'' she said.

    Fire destroys home outside Edwardsville - February 13, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    February 09, 2012 8:20 PM

    EDWARDSVILLE - A family fled for their lives early Thursday morning as a suspected electrical fire swept through their rural Edwardsville home, killing two dogs.

    The family of Tom and Denise Wieseman lost their home and most of their belongings when an apparent garage spark led to a blaze at the house at 5502 North Hazel Road, an area north of Illinois Route 157, about midway between Edwardsville and Hamel. The fire was reported just after 5 a.m.

    "We lost everything," Tom Wieseman said later Thursday morning as he combed through the remains, looking for tools and other items he might salvage.

    The house was somewhat historic, Tom Wieseman said, noting that it started as a Sears house before several additions were built.

    Wieseman, 50, an operating engineer, said he bought the house and has put a lot of work into it. It was built in the 1800s, he said.

    Wieseman said his wife had been in the garage late Wednesday, flipped a switch and heard a popping noise. He later heard another popping noise, came back and found the circuit-breaker tripped. He turned everything off, then went to bed.

    About 5 a.m., he and his wife heard a smoke alarm and smelled smoke.

    "I got up, ran out the back, raised the garage door and was hit by black smoke," Wieseman said.

    He said at first he thought the blaze could be contained to the garage, but it spread. Meanwhile, his wife dialed 911.

    "By the time the fire department got here, flames were coming out the roof of the house," he said.

    Despite his efforts, he lost a vehicle in the garage. The family members, including his wife's mother, Barbara Laramie, also lived there and lost important possessions, including most of their clothing.

    Denise Wieseman lost her purse and glasses, and Laramie lost her dentures.

    Denise Wieseman's daughter from a previous marriage, Shannon O'Neil, and O'Neil's daughter, Makalah, 5, also lived there and are without a home.

    After the fire, some of the family was living in a motel in Hamel and a camper. Tom Wieseman said neighbors have come to help, and he is hoping to get another camper to occupy while they figure where to go and what to do next.

    He was considering rebuilding on the same property as of Thursday.

    Wieseman speculated that perhaps a "dead spark" was left after the short-circuit caused the popping noise. He said he had been working to restore the house, including the wiring, for 15 years. At one point, they had a problem with rats and mice that may have damaged the wiring, he said.

    Although two dogs died in the blaze, three others managed to get out, he said. The dogs that died were named Nickie and Kelly.

    At least four fire departments, from Hamel, Edwardsville, Holiday Shores and Marine, responded.

    Wieseman said he had insurance on the home but not on the contents.

    Shortly before 4:30 p.m., the Hamel Fire Department was called back to the scene for a report that the fire had rekindled. Firefighters responded and doused small flames that had erupted in the ruins of the house.

    Harley-Davidson Introduces Two New Motorcycle Models - February 2, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    MILWAUKEE, Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG - News) today announced the introduction of two new motorcycle models, the Seventy-Two™ and the Softail® Slim™, each inspired by current trends in the American garage-built custom motorcycle scene. Both new models are mid-year additions to the 2012 Harley-Davidson motorcycle line-up, and will be available immediately at authorized Harley-Davidson dealers.

    Harley-Davidson™ Seventy-Two™

    Based on the Harley-Davidson Sportster platform, the Seventy-Two™ introduces Hard Candy Big Red Flake, a sparkling, metal flake color option applied to the fuel tank and fenders. A solo seat and side-mount license plate bracket leave much of the chopped rear fender – and more of that paint – exposed on the Seventy-Two. The Evolution® 1200 cc V-Twin powertrain is finished in Gray powdercoat with chrome covers and a new round air cleaner with a dished cover. A classic Sportster 2.1-gallon fuel tank, narrow white wall tires, Chrome Laced wheels, and high mini-ape handlebar complete a look that nods to chopper custom motorcycles of the 1970s.

    Harley-Davidson Softail® Slim™

    The Slim represents the Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle paired down to its essential elements in the style of custom bobbers of the 1950s, from its trimmed front fender to its narrow rear end, solo seat and minimal chrome. A cross-braced Hollywood handlebar and headlight nacelle are finished in gloss black. Other period styling cues include a "cat's eye" tank console, half-moon rider footboards, and gloss black wheel rims and hubs. The 1690 cc Twin Cam 103B™ powertrain is finished with polished covers instead of chrome. The Softail chassis mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame, but utilizes rear suspension control provided by coil-over shock absorbers mounted horizontally and out of sight within the frame rails. With the combination of a 23.8-inch seat height and rider foot boards, the Slim comfortably fits a wide range of riders.

    Harley-Davidson Motor Company produces heavyweight custom, cruiser and touring motorcycles and offers a complete line of Harley-Davidson motorcycle parts, accessories, riding gear and apparel, and general merchandise.
