Great!
Sorry can’t make it. I’ll be with Georgette in the Park on Sunday.
While you and Georgette are in the park, would advise you not to go into the woods, no matter how much passion you feel for each other (or even if you hear a little night music), because on rare occasions assassins may be lurking there in the follies. At least that’s the way it is on the east side of the park, but I don’t know the west side story.
The manuscripts and archives went to the Library of Congress and two other institutions. The bulk of the lots will be his game collection and tchotchkes.
