Greetings, A warm sunny day greeted collectors at the Saturday parking lot sale. Michael Devecka did an excellent job of promotion and a large crowd attended the show on Sunday April 13th. Sales were brisk with some rare items sold. We enjoyed meeting the new generation of collectors. They are well educated and know what they want to collect. The phonograph hobby will continue with the number of young collectors in attendance for the show.
A few photos of the show are posted on the APS website at: http://www.antiquephono.org/ Go to the events tab and click on past events. Then click on the heading above the picture and enjoy the show. On a sad note we were informed of the passing of Dick Zahn, of Bucyrus Ohio. Dick and Jean Zahn were active members of the Michigan Antique Phonograph Society and attended almost every Stanton auction. Jean supported the phonograph hobby and always urged Dick to buy the phonograph he wanted. We understand from Don Gfell that Dick went out in style. At the beginning of the funeral service the record God Bless America, by Kate Smith was played on Dicks favorite disk phonograph and at the close of the service everyone departed to the Washington Post March played on Dick's cylinder machine. Dick and Jean were very helpful to us when we started our collecting journey. Dick shared his talent and knowledge with fellow collectors. Dick was a big guy and always gave Joan the biggest bear hug. He was very active in the local historical society and vice president of the Bratwurst Festival. Our running joke was who made the best bratwurst. Dick will be missed and we send our s ympathy to his wife Jean and the family. Happy Easter to all, we are hoping for springtime in Wisconsin.
