As many of you may know, I have never been a collector of movie memorabilia myself. I have always felt very strongly that such items belong in the hands of the fans. It is the fans that have kept my father's legacy alive for so many years and have continued to be so supportive of my efforts to do the same. The kindnesses that have always been shown to me and the stories which have been shared with me have so enriched my life. I cannot thank you all enough for what you continue to bring to my father's legacy.
After much thought and soul searching, my family and I have decided to place many of our family's photos, letters and personal items which belonged to us and to my father and stepmother, Evie, with Heritage Auction Gallery for sale. I have known Doug Norwine, the Director of Music and Entertainment of Heritage for many, many years, and I sought his advice before making this decision. The auction will be open to the public, of course, and will be Saturday, October 4, 2008. Many of the items are already viewable online at www.entertainment.heritageauctions.com. Once on the Heritage Auctions web site, enter "Boris Karloff" in the Search field. You can also e-mail Doug Norwine at dougn@ha.com for any information about the auction or specific items. There are many more items yet to be added to the auction so please keep checking the auction site. Please believe me when I say that my family firmly believes these things more appropriately belong with my father's fans than on our shelves and walls... ENJOY and TREASURE them as we have. Sara Karloff
