Paul, 

Put me on the list too.  We definitely don't want these in the dump! 

I'd be looking at the larger (20g+) tanks, so between folks like me and Hiro we 
should have takers for all sizes. It sounds like he has some of those old 
metal-framed O'Dell and Metaframe tanks like I had as a kid. I have a 
sentimental spot for those, and snap them up when I see one at Goodwill or 
Value Village.  Re-sealed with silicone, they're just as durable as the modern 
all-glass ones.

Ironically, I have several 2, 5 and 10g tanks of my own I'm looking to dispose 
of (thus the search for bigger tanks), and $.50 a gallon to our club sounds 
good.

What day did Mr. Stansbury have in mind for a pickup? I am frequently near 
Lacey (Olympia) for work during the day, drive a Ranger truck and could arrange 
to meet the group there.  

He also sounds like he'd be a great source of knowledge about the fish hobby. 
Maybe he can speak to the club sometime.
