My brother just called and the auction I mentioned in a earlier post is getting lots of attention in the media. Today Sean fielded calls from The Globe and Mail, The National Post, The Ottawa Citizen, CBC, Global TV, CTV news, Breakfast television (what is that?), NBC, Discovery Channel and NASA. Some Scientist from NASA was so excited about the items for sale and was eager to share that these items had never been seen in the west before. He also was able to fill in the blanks for Sean concerning some items. This would have helped Sean a month ago when he was writing the catalogue and then he would not have had to ask his sister to help him research and with some descriptions. Oh well, then his sister would have never learned about the Russian Space programme!! He is exhausted, he spent most of the day on the phone talking to someone about the Russian objects. Some one even told him it is in all the Russian newspapers and told him how his name would be translated so he could look up the articles online and see it for himself. What a hoot. So tomorrow he is in for Breakfast television interviews, then other television interviews all day. He is nervous, hates being in front of the tv camera (he has done Antiques Roadshow) and is not looking forward to it. Just ride it out Sean, it will be over at the end of the month.
So go to Waddington's online and check this stuff out.
