VMs: A Fitting Place for the Lou Kruh Collection

["Stephen A Kallis, Jr." <skallisjr@xxxxxxxx>]

Jim Gillogly, speaking of Dr. Kruh's cryptologic collection, notes,

>>Lou Kruh is a friend of mine, also, and he is still active in the
American Cryptogram Association, writing a book review column for each
issue of The Cryptogram, and he is one of the founding editors of
Cryptologia.  He is trying to find a good home for the complete
collection, which he put up for sale relatively recently - within the
last year, I think.  He wants it all to go to a single place --
e.g. a university, a museum, or some other place where it can be kept
intact.<<

Probably the best place for it to go is the National Cryptologic Museum
at the National Security Agency.  Admittedly, they already have some
examples of Dr. Kruh's collection -- M-94 and M-209 cipher devices
immediately spring to mind -- but I'm sure they'd take good care of the
whole collection.  

When he first posted his collection, there were images of his collection,
and I admit that I would have liked to have a few items from the vast
array of stuff, but realized that I didn't have 1% of the capital
resources necessary to acquire the lot.  

But I believe he indicated that he wished to sell, not just to donate,
his collection.
