Thread Name: John Ross estate sale ONE DAY ONLY 22 Aug 2009
Subject: RE: John Ross estate sale
Bob Nelson here again ... this is new news to me that the estate sale will ONLY be one day, this coming Saturday, August 22nd.
Genie, and other interested folks ... the Seattle folklore society succeeded in obtaining the nutz and bolts of John Ross' collection. The books, the hundreds of folk music records, and THANK GOODNESS ... the many, many R/R tapes. These things are now in a safe, warm and dry storage area. I feel good about that.
If anyone wants to ask me for further details, please feel free to PM me.
I do want to mention just how helpful "Maggie ... the paraleagal" has been. If it wasn't for her sensitivity regarding the historical value of John Ross' lifetime collection, it could all have ended in the dump.
Thank you from all of us Maggie ... Bob Nelson
