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?
