Rome,

Let me take a look at them first. My mom was editor of ground skimmer for a number of years. It would be cool to buy those or maybe the entire collection.

Where are they?

Idea:
Ken de Russy received my collection.
Bill Bennett's collection might have some numbers yet missing by Ken.
Ken makes things available for visitors at his Hang Gliding Museum.

Recording the title and numbers of Bill's collection is a data point of history itself. Splitting the collection before recording the items as a matter of historical recollection about Bill would be a loss of some information that may grow to be interesting as time goes forward. Maybe some fresh young interested person would catalog the collection and publish the facts of the titles and number vol., issue, etc. and declare: THIS was Bill's collection of periodicals: _______, etc.
Just having that published could increase the bidding price for the physical collection, so the club obtain more funds for the Bennett memorial at LZ or for the bathrooms.
