During the 1988 A.N.A. convention in Cincinnati, there was a day long excursion made by several dozen bibliophiles to see the impressive Armand Champa library in Louisville, Ky. They even boarded the Greyhound bus that took them there that morning, later at 6:30 pm, to take them to Del Frisco's for dinner and then back to the Champa residence.

By all printed accounts, it was a most enjoyable event. The late Ken Lowe wrote up his insights in Out On A Limb, in the September, 1988, Vol. II, Number 3 issue. Ken's wit and humor related the "invasion" in grand style. Armand even had a photographer and videographer on site to record the "on-goings".

Does anyone know where these video tapes are located now?
