			For those in the know, what will be the fate of his unique collection? I sure hope that a museum acquires it as a whole and puts it on display.

			That appears to be a distant solution, so far !

			I've never posted here before, but the main reason I joined this forum was reading Matchlock's posts. I hope to write historical fiction set during the Italian wars, and Matchlock's posts were absolutely invaluable to me; his detailed explanations and pictures from his collections beat absolutely anything I could find on the web or in bookshops. So sorry to hear of his passing, and sad that I never got to exchange messages with him directly.   |

			My motivation for joining this forum was Michael's educational contributions.

			He would be 63 years old, today. Let not the earth be heavy on him. |
