Thank you Bert! I met Jean through her nephew who is a dear friend. She is truly a lovely lady and I'm enjoying the chance to get to know her. She tasked me with finding a solution so I will go over next week and share all of this. I know that she would love to see it go somewhere to be shared and that it will still be quite an emotional journey for her.

: I've known Jean for 30-35 years. She
: definitely has one of the best, most
: extensive collections in the World - if not
: the very best, Janet. She has been my
: collecting mentor but it's been 6-7 years
: since we last talked (I can't believe how
: time gets away these days).
:
: I have talked to the University of Arizona -
: where Nick went to school in the early 50's
: -about donating my collection to their world
: renowned Music Museum and they are
: definitely interested. If the history of
: the Kingston Trio is to be preserved the
: best place to do it is in a museum like the
: one at the U of A.
:
: I have around 1,500 items in my collection
: (including two RIAA Gold Records) but Jean
: had more items than me but no Golds.
:
: Please tell Jean that I said hello - give
: her my best - and that you or she can call
: me and I will be happy to help advise you on
: this issue. Bert Williams, Tucson Arizona

: Hi all - I'm helping a wonderful woman clear
: out her house in order to move into assisted
: living. She has an unbelievably huge
: collection of Kingston Trio Memorabilia,
: including every LP or 45 ever produced (I do
: mean "ever"). I'm trying to find
: a folk music museum or a venue to offering
: the collection in pieces to folks who might
: be interested. Any help is appreciated. If
: I don't find something, I'm afraid it will
: all end up in a dumpster which would make me
: extraordinarily sad.
