Ian and Rick,
thank you for responding in such a mature fashion. Now I see where you two are coming from. Your respect towards your collection transcends what some, if not most, would refer to as an eye candy. I really hope that there are more collectors like you two who really respect these venerated objects.
As for your suggestion, Ian; it sure is a pity. I just hope that, if anything, the future generation will have access to what was once the pride and life of their ancestors.
And Rick, I've known for awhile your ties to my people
, and with that I respect you more that you'll ever know.
respectfully yours,
Willie
