Nevertheless it doesn't diminish a lifelong love of the hobby. I'm only in hopes that all of the knowledge Janice had is not lost.
As you mentioned in regards to the records you will be donating, I doubt that will be the case.
I'm sure it was a life long labor of love and a thrill to find something new every now and then.

Just a question as I don't collect decanters and know little about them other than how to empty them
Does one generally collect them full or empty? Aside from the value of the contents how does that affect the values if at all?
