Problem with serializing multiple collections with a base class

[Gonzo]

I have the following code. When I serialize the DriverCollectio n I would
like to get both the Driver Collection and the DeletedItems collection. I
end up with only the Driver collection. I have tried numerous attributes
with no success. Any help would be appreciated...
