Oh dear. I understand. It is hard to lose a friend. Yesterday Mrs. ManyMoose and I went to an estate sale. It was apparently the estate of a widower or bachelor who buried himself in collections. Books. LP records, knickknacks of every sort, tools, walking sticks, clothing, much of it new. I bought a couple of small tools and a set of books written by Theodore Roosevelt and published in 1906. There were seven books in two series with deteriorated leather spines. One set was from Hunting Tales of the West and the other The Winning of the West. Neither series was complete, which disappointed me greatly. Teddy Roosevelt was a very remarkable person, even as a child. I don't know how he managed to accomplish the life that he did. He's one of my heroes, and as President started the National Forest System under Gifford Pinchot, the first US forester. He also started the Bull Moose party.
