Someone just told me that Sotherby's is auctioning off a 600 books collection on the occult next month. They stated that it is only part of a collection. I know there were a lot more than 600 books. I have the feeling that we are talking about the same library and either a child, or relative is selling some books to raise cash. Perhaps an investor bought the entire collection. I have no way of telling. Just one of the books, published in 1475, is reported to fetch 1.5 million dollars. The title is "The Hammer Witch" which is a law book about witches and how to identify a witch. At that time if you didn't believe in witches, the Catholic church would visit you at your home and made sure you were a believer. It was against the law to be an unbeliever.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
