Joe,

I received my information from former T206 collector Marc Bourgea, who lived in New Hampshire when we last corresponded a few years back. I consider Marc a trustworthy source. If you want more information, I suggest you contact Marc or, better yet, contact Larry Fritsch--as he was the one who, at least according to the information I received from Marc, sold the hoard of Joe Doyles to the Michigan individual.

Edited to add: The relevant issue to me is not whether Larry Fritsch advertised for all Doyles or only for Joe Doyles. Rather, the salient issue is what, if any, Doyles were lost to the hobby. According to the information I have, the Michigan individual only bought the Joe Doyles that Mr. Fritsch had accummulated--for obvious reasons this person did not purchase Larry Doyles from Mr. Fritsch. Hence, assuming this information is accurate, it was only Joe Doyles that were lost.
