There is no "Black Hole of Curatorship" in the PGCA. Its simply a self serving statement by a single person who doesn't get the access he desires while others get help. That's why I have been so out front in countering Murphy's comment. I think the PGCA is a fine organization, I have a lot of friends in it and we help keep alive collecting and user interest in an exemplary American article. There are always those who want to tear down an organization and its key people for their own reasons, and those people may collect a few cheerleaders along the way from those who don't know any better.
I personally don't keep any Parker collector information of general interest secret. I write, publish and give oral presentations several times a year.
