What I find very interesting is the history obtained from Europeans... If it were not for a few in Liege, Challes-les-Eaux, Nice and Baden-Baden and the family VERDONK und Mann... I would be lost in the wilderness having mostly taken the wrong fork on every narrow pass before me.

I, too, have a final plan for my rarer one-of-a-kind European material; to one day return it home where those countrymen can savor it as I have thru the years... I started doing this with the bulk of my collection in 1998, but it seems like my cabinet overflows with exhange... The kindness is neverending...
