Hi Everybody,
Patricia and I just interview Dick Judge for our radio show. I was
wondering how many old time dealers we still have in the business that
started in the 1970s? Please let me know. Take care,
Walden

Norman,
If you haven't already donated them, you might contact your local public
library about donating the collection to them. Is there a public radio station
where you live. Perhaps, if you talked to them, they might also accept the
collection. They might even use it as the basis for a series of old time radio
programs.
Best wishes,
Steve

(If it hadn't been for Tell there would have been no opera, if there had
been no opera there would have been no overture, if there had been no
overture the Lone Ranger wouldn't have had the theme music we know. <g>
