Yes, Vicki and I communicated quite a bit after Bill’s passing when she was sorting out Bill’s posessions and some of the things that had been Tap’s. She worked at the Cobb’s Auction House but she didn’t want to go that route. In the end she consigned all the books with a different auction house and things didn’t work out quite as well as she had hoped. They bundled all the books into about a half-dozen lots and they didn’t bring anywhere near what they would have brought if auctioned individually or in twos or threes. We haven’t communicated in years but I still get her periodic business emails.
