MOTM

Wow.  What a shame to die so young from at least a highly treatable disease.
I am sure his parents will be thankful for your help is assessing the value
of what he has and finding buyers.  I imagine like most of our relatives,
they have little idea of the true value of his stuff we cram into our
studios.  In addition to being a MOTM customer, Doug was a Stooge panel
customer and purchased a panel for a Dark Star and one for a Time Machine a
while back.  Since the Time Machine (and possibly the Dark Star by now) are
not currently available, maybe these are in his studio and can find a home
with a fellow MOTM user (to help with the expenses).

It's been a rough last few days. A friend and MOTM user here in Fort Worth,
Doug Ferguson, died
unexpectedly from diabetes. He never knew he *had* diabetes until it was too
late and he went
into a coma. He was 31.

Doug was a fervent collector of "oddball" gear: Freeman string synths,
PS3100, MS-10s, and only 1
of 70 made double Mellotrons. Not having much money, these are all in
"working-but-tore-up"
condition. I hope to help his parents sell some to cover the bills (his dad
teaches biology at a
small local college. Doug did "odd jobs" and performed. Very little money
here). I'll keep you
posted. BTW: Doug was in the bands "Ohm" and "Yeti".

He went into the coma Thursday PM, and died yesterday PM. Needless to say, I
haven't been getting
much done. I hope to get back into the swing of things tomorrow.

I am building up more '800 kits. Sill out of '420, '700 and '320 kits. The
'420s I will do first.
The other 2 will be about 2 weeks away. I need to make a dent in the
assembled backlog. There is
always stuff piling up, which is *good*.

Thanks to all that have sent in new demos. I will upload them by Friday,
along with an updated
catalog.
