I found it extremely sad that the man responsible for the hobby as we know it today lies in an unmarked grave. |

I'm talking to a friend of mine in New York about taking this on. If anyone else wants to handle this I'll be happy to contribute. |

I'm not sure if what was true in '97 is still the case, but I doubt it's been fixed, as Burdick had no family. |

...we should be chipping in to give Burdick's collection a better home at the Met. When I asked what it would take to have more than 1/300th of the collection displayed at any time, a woman in the the Prints department told me to come back after I had struck it rich. Well, maybe as a group we could finance that. |

I heard back from Sean Kirst regarding Jefferson Burdick's grave site. Happy to say Burdick does in fact have a marker on his grave. A gentleman named John DeFlores who worked with Burdick bought the gravestone out of his own pocket. |
