"Survived by his wife..."
Alan King used to do this bit about how it seems that when you read the obits no matter how long a guy has lived, he is survived by his wife. So my wife, from time to time asks me, "what do I do with this stuff when you're gone?" I reply "how do you know you won't go first?" and she laughs. I have put together a notebook catologing my collection, prices paid, where I bought it, estimated market value, etc. Fortunately, I live ten minutes away from REA so she has Rob's number and contact information for other hobby contacts I trust. Its a good idea to put this info. in one place just in case. I hope my sons will want to keep a few pieces to remind them of the old man but in any case, you can't take it with you. Anyway, where I'm going the cardboard would probably get scorched and the slabs melted.
