Which I ain't. Bigger problem is illustrated by my experience with the chairman of the Music Department at Skidmore College which is literally a stone's throw from my home. He said he would adore to accept the collection but they haven't the space to store it!!! Can you imagine? Next, I should try my college, Wesleyan. Good idea Steve. Thanks.
