And that raises yet another question. Have you, Michael, made any provision for the disposition of your notes and records after your passing? I recall a similar dilemma discussed by the ASSRA about their own library a few years ago, and still not resolved or even revisited as far as I know. It would be a shame if the accumulated data assembled by you should become lost to future generations, and I was wondering if you had reached any conclusions you'd care to share with us?

A timely question I just got off the phone with Rudi Prusok with no easy answers for either of us. For those who don't know Rudi he is the keeper of the ASSRA library. A decade ago when the wife and I made out or last will I left all my records, pictures, databases and files to the Rifled Arms Historical Association which now seems to be dead. Ideally I would like to find a (young) person to take over for me and have all my files. Realizing that that may not be possible for many reasons I would like to find a institution that might be interested and I was thinking of some school like Trinidad State Junior College or other that has a gunsmith school. Rudi thinks this is a good Idea as well and would be open to something like this. My library (200 feet of book shelf) will go to auction, the ASSRA library is about the length of a football field.
