MORE IMPORTANTLY...what became of his collection...?!
The last I knew, the records were being sold off by Peter Leavitt...
with whom I then lost touch  (he thought I took too long to pay
a bill he sent me...?!)...! AFAIK Mr. Leavitt may no longer be
with us...can anyone confirm/deny this...? If he isn't does 
anyone else intebd to continue the sale...??

I filled in a LOT of blanks via Peter Leavitt!
