Steven,

Thank you for that. All of frank's gear is in his sister's garageand is well protected from weather. She doesn't know how to do eBay or Pay Palso before I go through the process with her of setting up those accounts, weagreed that his stuff should be offered to any interested parties here and thenperhaps post it on Facebook. Helen is not in great physical health right nowalthough she is not by any means old. She suffers from a herniated disk and is interrible pain. The biggest difficulty beyond finding buyers is getting Frank'sstuff boxed and shipped. So Any help from any source will be appreciated.

Frank

I'm glad to see that his Mk II has gone to a place where it will be
valued.

I'm not in SD but have a brother there. I would be willing to drive
down to help move things/pack things.
