know I read an article a few years ago on how he had gotten sick and sold most
of his collection. He had to sell the ‘mansion’ that housed it, and
live a small bungalow. According to the article he only had a few pieces left
and was living on a small pension. He was famous for allowing fans who just
showed up his house to tour it. I wonder how he is doing now.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
