List Subscribers,

I am looking for some leads to locate a private collection of pipes made
from pipestone from Pipestone National Monument.  The collector's name is
Lyle "Red" Linch, a former Park Ranger at the Monument.  He is an alumnus
of the University and died in 1987.  After his retirement, he moved to
Phoenix, Arizona and his sister (name unknown) may still be living there.
He also had an extensive collection of antique barbed wire which he
prized.  I am wondering if anyone in Arizona knows of the disposition of
his collections?  You may contact me off the list. Thank you in advance
for your help.
