Most of it is too idiosyncratic for anyone, and too much of it is so unsorted as to not be worth the time it would take anyone to go through it. I do, though, have some true collections, primarily of books, that took some effort and years to assemble, and it is the break-up of these collections that does concern me. My son's interests are professionally different than mine, at least to the point where the content these collections is unlikely to be of help to him, and the volume only a burden.
I have thought of specialized or academic libraries. Cheers, Lawry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad McCormick, Ed.D.

If you once found it of value, unless you now consider it is no longer of value, maybe someone else would find it of value -- not many, perhaps, but perhaps yet a "saving remnant"? \brad mccormick > Climb Mount Fuji > O snail, > But slowly, slowly. > > Cheers, > Lawry > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad McCormick, > Ed.D. > Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 6:41 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Futurework] Advertising and more > > Lawrence de Bivort wrote: > >> PLEASE don't tell me you dug that out of your memory, Brad.
