When some other curators of Parker information decide to open their files, I will open mine. These people know who they are. I have identified them on this forum many times.
Sounds pretty selfish of those individuals and to what end? That they pass from this world and still "own" some information? Oh well.

You would be surprised to see the list of those who are not sharing information. Dean, in my mind, I think that some of this information, as voluminous as it is, should be put out in written form, published, and made available to anyone who would spend the money to purchase it.
