Randolph Herr Collection - A Sad Story
By Luke Myers

It is a shame that the instruments of the late Randolph Herr have been
treated in such an uncaring way.  It has become obvious to me that the
heirs of the estate did not and do not really care about preserving
those particular specimens of mechanical music.  One statement which
quite upsets me is the one below, by Vincent Morgan [170222 MMDigest]:

> Not one promise to me by Michael Herr was ever kept.  When I was
> there I found an original shipping log from QRS, which I turned
> over to Terry, but nothing else.  I am still waiting on the boxes
> of original material promised to Glenn, Terry and me -- if they
> ever existed.

This should have _never_ happened, and should never happen again.
Let's watch out and save any more rare instruments, should another
collection like Randolph's be dispersed.
