[78-L] Don Hodgman, Collector and ARSC Member passed away on Thursday

[David Lennick]

I had the pleasure of knowing Don for a number of years, and using some of his 
fabulous collection in various reissues. He came up to Toronto with Dave 
Canfield a few times and we'll all visit at Peter Fulop's..I believe Peter 
bought much of Don's collection. I was just about to e-mail Peter about 
something else..I wonder if he's heard?
