<div>Sigh. This brings me sadness, although I certainly understand the desire to close the list. I still have three boxes of Donald Duck comics (Barks) that date mostly to the 1940's and 50's, along with the letter Barks wrote to my dad back in the 60's. I'd always thought that this group would help to guide me in my disposal of them. I am, after all, 67 and won't be here forever. Oh, and there is also a small drawing that Barks personalized to my dad, "Quack, quack, Professor Burnett. Remember when Donald looked like this?" These have been family heirlooms, read and reread, and read again during my youth. </div>

<div>Thanks to all for the companionship over the years!</div>
