Interesting, I'll be 87 in 2 weeks, so I believe I'm entitled to make comments. That is a very nice/suitable gesture for him/them?, IMHO, it just hadn't occured to me, tho. For me, music, cls, sax and oboe has been a 77 year pursuit along with a chem eng career, wife, 4 kids and ever increasing "clan" . On discussing with family what to do with my horn colledtion, our elder son, a fair sax player/ fine pharmeceutical chemist-physicist, volunteered to accept what insts I didn't want/need to sell or give to museums [Vermillion {USD} and Claremont, CA {Fiske} ] so as to carry on my practice of supplying quality insts to our younger generations and close friends, to promote musical education and performance. So, with wife, we have made up a [possible] distribution listing of assets, with trading privileges, for the kids, as equitably as possible. As to being buried/ashes with such as our favorite auto, a 39 Lincoln Zephyr, I've heard of such somewhere, but being a liberal/conservative, I dont wish to destroy assets in that fashion, am 1/4 Scotch, and trying to increase it !!

Thanx, Mark, Don
