Ky, Good on you and good story. Humans can be a greedy lot though. I got into Baluch carpets in Pakistan in the mid-1970's. About that time the Belgian trade commissioner committee suicide...he'd planed to retire to Beirut and the civil war supported by all kinds of outside powers erupted...the green line ran right over his Saint George's club. Well I liked and respected the man..but I sure did try to pry a couple of carpets from his cold fingers. I guess that's human nature. Lesson I guess is respect the past..but those gone are in a better place and don't care about material possessions anymore... So I'm sort of in the camp of giving everything away if it can be done before the inevitable.
Your autobiography would be a good read.
