Gordon Large, RPT Mt. Vernon, ME >> >> Gordon: My father owned 9,800 78rpm records-most of which were classical symphonic and opera recordings. After he passed away I tried to find someone who would want these for their "historical" value and finally found a person in Cleveland who was interested and he bought the entire collection for.... $200.00. This person is President of the Beecham Society. $200.00 was the only offer I had and I was glad to see him haul that sizable collection away. They are now stored in his warehouse and he occasionally uses one of these recordings in a local Classical (WCLV) Radio station show honoring Sir Thomas Beecham.(British Conductor of internation renown Bob Bergantino,RPT Cleveland, Ohio
