Gerry's wife, Helen, has remarried. She has nothing left of his collection. The most important part of de la Ree's hoard, the CAS letters to Sam Loveman, have just been sold by Lloyd Currey to the Bancroft Library.
As for Dennis Rickard, he was looking pretty lively when I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Send me the message and I'll forward it.
Best,
Scott Connors
