John,

Lighten up.  You were critical.

I knew that the Borroughs and many other items were there.  It was a 
huge loss for history. Klaude is a long time friend of mine of 35 
years now.  Several years ago he offered me some things, very large 
things, which required storage. I didn't have that kind of room or 
money to handle it.  I wanted one of the big items for Infoage, but 
it was at the time when Fred was not sure if he would really get the 
project off the ground.  Time passed, and I was incapable of 
accepting this item, then I was too tired to physically get it, and 
now that is gone also.

So blame me too, and a few others.  Leave Klaude alone, you know 
nothing about him.

73, John
