ATLANTA, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Babe Ruth, Richard Nixon, Charles
Lindbergh, Walt Disney, Mickey Mantle, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Grateful Dead, Ty
Cobb, Elvis Presley, the Wright Brothers: Who could gather all of these names
and many more in one location for one auction with NO MINIMUM OR RESERVE?
None other than Red Baron. May 2-4, 2008, they will host the world's largest
memorabilia auction in Atlanta, Georgia.

The collection, taking 38 years to amass over 2000 items, is the success
of one man, Mr. Doodle Harris. In the continued efforts of his admirable
accomplishment, a portion of proceeds from this auction will benefit charity.

Over $5 million has been invested in these items that have been monumental
in American History; they will all be sold with NO MINIMUM and NO RESERVE....(continue)

BB I have heard that Doodle has been ill for quite awhile, I just can't remember the details and would never want to print the wrong information.

The list of auction items was quite impressive, to say the least. I'm not a collector, but I'm sure that collectors were drooling over some of those items.
