Ray, I have been there and it was (is) a great collection. Unfortunately both from his talk of currency fluctuations and what I have already heard the collection was sold to an "overseas" buyer who was supposed to be keeping most of it and selling off what he/she did not want. A shame. Edward Albert Chappaqua, New York, U.S.A.
