Tom, I'm so sorry to hear this!  I just got the Hurrell calendar you sent me 
and it's lovely.

Thank you, Tom.  How heartbroken you must be.

recover and be better


well 
1st 
my 
heartfelt 
sympathy 
to 
Heritage 
and 
Grey 
and 
all 
dealers 
that 
have 
thier 
reputaions 
questioned.
 
I 
have 
been 
in 
this 
Business 
since 
1977 
and 
many 
times 
things 
come 
into 
question..
as 
mopers 
know 
I 
had 
a 
OscarĀ® 
that 
created  
lots 
of 
hoopla 
andthrough 
the 
years 
may 
diffeant 
event 
happened 
that 
brought 
my  
character 
and 
business 
under 
scrutiny. 
I 
will 
say 
this 
that 
if 
the 
auction 
house 
and 
dealers 
are 
not 
upfront 
It 
gets 
out 
eventually 
and 
the 
people 
nowdays 
with 
the 
net 
can 
varify.. 
I 
just 
spoke 
to 
a 
man 
that 
started 
the 
large 
character 
business 
and 
sol 
a 
C-3po 
for 
46,000.00 
and 
many 
of 
the 
props 
to 
Planet 
Hollywood.. 
we 
talked 
on 
the 
phone 
and 
knew 
many 
of 
the 
same 
people,,back 
in 
70s 
and 
80s 
the 
stuff 
was 
cheap.. 
I 
mean 
you 
could 
get 
this 
stuff 
for 
like 
300 
a 
costome 
and 
John 
lebold 
bought 
stuff 
for 
50 
cents 
at 
the 
studios, 
they 
evem 
burned 
King 
KONG 
set 
or 
GWTW..he 
owns 
the 
King 
kong  
armature 
anyway 
it 
gets 
hard 
to 
prove 
provenance 
as 
many 
wish 
to 
stay 
out 
of 
lime 
light,

SO 
my 
disaster 
today.. 
was 
my 
1st 
water 
flood 
in 
basement....... 
what 
I 
cant 
believe 
is 
that 
I 
stacked 
paper 
in 
the 
basement... 
this 
tops 
heritage 
in 
my 
eyes..... 
I 
shoud 
be 
tared 
and 
feathered
so 
i 
did 
put 
some 
2 
x4 
under 
some 
boxes...

So 
what 
did 
i 
lose... 
Some 
moviemagazines 
and 
some 
paper 
and 
some 
BOOKs 
Most 
books

and 
superb 
books.. 
Like 
the 
Hiurrell 
style 
MGM 
lion 
Roars 
signe 
by 
Ted 
Turnerm 
Loys 
of 
Films 
of
maybe 
30 
books.. 
Ive 
been 
trying 
to 
dry 
page 
by 
page 
with 
a 
hair 
dryer...
I 
was 
so 
overwhemled 
at 
seeing 
3 
inchs 
of 
water  
i 
couldnt 
function 
and 
threw 
up 
in 
the 
store 
parking 
lot
when 
i 
got 
the 
sump 
pump.. 
these 
books 
were 
titles 
i 
save 
years 
... 
Good 
news 
is 
most 
was 
above 
water 
so 
I 
saved 
them..... 
But 
ill 
tell 
you 
when 
you 
get 
that 
experiance.its 
stressfull..

I 
suggest 
everyone 
not 
follow 
that 
what 
i 
did 
and 
get 
your 
boxes 
in 
areas 
wher 
water 
wont 
com 
it
