[78-L] For those married folks, how does your spouse fell about your record collection?

[David Lennick]

And then there was the Toronto collector who was living in his car because 
there just wasn't any more room in his house. I kid you not..he died in that 
car. A daughter (by an ex-wife) came back from Australia to try and organize 
things, including a disaster in the basement which had flooded the year before. 
It was 3 months and 6 filled dumpsters before collectors like Graham Newton and 
I could even start looking at the stuff.
