[78-L] Large University Throwing away records?

[Dan Van Landingham]

Not to change the subject but what can you tell me about the 78 rpm recordings that came
from the Library of Congress?I acquired several of them some months back at a garage 
sale here in North Bend,Oregon.They were just given to me.One was a recording by Lang-
ston Hughes.

And Bowling Green State University's collection is alive and well.
