Frater Conard mentioned several times his collection of TKE memorabilia, including letters he exchanged with Tex Flint. I wonder if someone is close enough to his wife Grace to approach her about her plans for those. They shouldn't go into an estate sale, if you know what I mean.

If I remember right I believe he said he had willed all that stuff to IHQ. He was doubting that for awhile because he said IHQ was bad about stuff given to them in the past and many of it was taken, misplaced, or just totally lost. I believe after talking to IHQ affialated people he changed his mind.
