It was great to hear about the Marvin H. Albert tribute book.
I may have told this story before, but it relates to my
"Albert stash." Several years ago, a French movie company
wanted to film one of Albert's books. He didn't have a copy
of it, so he called Fawcett. No one there had a copy,
either.
(Can you believe they don't have file copies of all
those great Gold Medals?)
One guy he talked to happened to know that I was a
collector, so Albert wrote and asked if I'd give him a copy.
I couldn't part with the book, but I photocopied it for him.
In return he sent me signed copies of a couple of books that
he did have copies of, and we corresponded for a while.
A great guy.
