Hi Dave,

 SR> vintage kits can go for $$$ if they're the old German ones. Built
 SR> kits aren't worth a ton but can do OK locally.  Et cetera.

 RH> I really don't know what all he has; I've not lived at home for so long
 RH> that I just know there's a lot of stuff. Can't eat trains but can eat
 RH> from the money brought in from their sales.

 DD> The really tough part is going to be talking Pop into giving up his
 DD> lifetime avocation. Even if he is not active at it any longer - it
 DD> still was a HUGE part of his life and who he saw himself as. And that
 DD> is tough to give over.

 RH> This is more long range thinking, after he's gone. Of course even long
 RH> range is relative now; he's 91.

 DD> Have you asked him what he'd like done with all that plunder? He may
 DD> have a plan in the back of his head which he has told no one. Or, you
 DD> may not want to rock that boat by reminding Dad that life is finite.

He's mentioned that he wants to make sure all the kids, grand kids and
great grand kids that want anything can have it. (Robert is very much
into trains.) He's also told us that there are some valuable pieces
(depending on the market) so not to sell low which means we'll need to
get things appaised and stored somewhere until they can be sold. Also,
the magazines, he's proud that he has the whole set of one and all but
the first issue of another; I think he'd like them to go as a unit but I
don't know if that's possible. But yes, he is thinking of his mortality
a lot more now. I lost a couple of first cousins in 2011; Dad had baby
sat them when they were growing up before he went into the Navy.

 DD>       Title: Leek & Baked Potato Vichyssoise w/Red Caviar
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Potatoes, Seafood
 DD>       Yield: 6 Servings

 RH> Looks good even without the caviar.

 DD> I should hope. I'm not a big fan of caviar. I've had it the requisite
 DD> number of time's to satisfy Burt's Aunt Ah ... and I still don't "get
 DD> it".

I don't know how many times I've had it; probably enough to satisfy Aunt
Ah but ca't say for sure. It's not something that is important to me.
