Just thought I'd post this for those who missed it or for our overseas friends. A television show on the Fox network just aired. "The Ultimate Auction" sold on-the-air such items as a full Pachycephalosaurus skeleton and the original to Clement Moore's "T'was The Night Before Christmas"...

Hey, all, One of the great disappointments of my research on Lucy Duff Gordon has been my failure to locate a copy of the letter Laura Francatelli wrote to her friend Marion Taylor (and a "Lucile" model along with Franks' sister Phyllis). Excerpts were published in Michael Davie's book...
