Lou was my wife's grandfather. I have all of his scrapbooks, photos and 
promo stuff from his era and when he worked for Paul Specht. The record 
collection is probably 75% complete. I have a few radio show 
transcriptions too, one of him with Arthur Murray and another of his 
promo for the 1940 World's Fair.
