----- this I do not remember, however I do remember that while I had no clue 
who Risé Stevens was when I saw and heard her in a panel, I was immensely 
pleased to meet R.D. Darrell at the Grand Dinner; a person whose writing and 
not least his less known bibliography I had admired and used for a long time.

I also remember that when I had disclosed the fact about the "ironing-out" 
process and the dubbing at VTMC in a presentation at the Conference, Michael 
Lane dashed out very excited and apparently called his partner Douglas Holmes 
about it from one of the payphones there, because I had in effect disclosed 
that first pressings were probably much better than the Heritage Series (or 
was it Holmes calling Lane?). 

Best wishes,


George
