n The Hound of the Baskervilles, it was noted of Sir Charles Baskerville that “His Chronicling “Generous generous donations to local and county charities have been frequently chronicled Donations” in these columns.” We have the pleasure of highlighting four generous donations, I as unique as the donors themselves, in “these columns.” 1 Lee Karrer Not snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, or even 100 Years Ago the failure of their home’s central air conditioning system 2 could keep Lee and Katie Karrer from the completion of their journey from Omaha, NE to Minneapolis one hot Friday morning last July. Lee had wanted to visit the 50 Years Ago Sherlock Holmes Collections for some time, and it seemed 3 this would be the day until their air conditioning system failed. Five hours (and a large repair bill) later, Lee realized the library would be closed by the time they arrived in Dorothy Stix Donation Minneapolis. He called Curator Tim Johnson and was happy to hear some good news. Lee wrote “Tim Johnson 4 was good enough to stay after 5:00 pm on a Friday night to take receipt of the gift and allow me to finally see the Photo courtesy of Lee Karrer From the President Collection – it was wonderful!” Lee Karrer 4 Lee, who is the Finance Director for the Archdiocese of Omaha, began reading Sherlockian pastiches about twenty years ago and enjoys searching bookstores for Musings material to add to his collection. His attraction to Sherlock Holmes mirrors his profession: “logic as their core premise” in addition to the “strong characters and strong 4 relationships.” He wrote that he didn’t start out “to be a collector as I always intend to read what I buy – which is unfortunately quite a bit. I was looking for a good home for a first gift and I knew by reputation that the U of M fit that bill. I specialize in pastiches An Update from as the Sherlockian world is too vast and one has too little time to take it all in, unless the Collections you are John Bennett Shaw. I did not know him, but would have liked to have visited 5 him at his home.” The listing of Lee’s donation of his collection covers almost five pages and reflects his twenty year passion for obtaining pastiches. Included are well-known and lesser-known pastiches, Acquisitions including those authored by Val Andrews, Lloyd Biggle, Carole Nelson Douglas, David Stuart 7 Davies, Philip Jose Farmer, Denny Martin Flinn, Mark Frost, L. B. Greenwood, John Hall, Gerard Kelly, Laurie King, Larry Millett, Glen Petrie, June Thomson, and M. J. Trow. Although Lee never had the opportunity to visit John Bennett Shaw’s home, their books now Remembrances reside together in the vaults of Collections. 8 Continued on page 6

Friends of the Sherlock Holmes Collections 3 Dorothy Stix Donation he Sherlock Holmes Collections recently received a vintage video- tape featuring a CNN interview with Tom Stix, Jr. and John Bennett Shaw. The interview was made at the T Baker Street Irregular Birthday Weekend on January 7, 1987, which celebrated the centenary of the publication of the first Sherlock Holmes story, “.” The video shows the legendary John Bennett Shaw and past leader Tom Stix, Jr. being questioned about several canonical matters; their classical visages and characteristic witty responses are well shown and now available for future generations of Sherlockians. The videotape had been presented during a 1995 conference of the Norwegian Explorers when they celebrated the addition of John Bennett Shaw’s library to the Sherlock Holmes Collections. Photo by Julie McKuras The collections are indebted to the present “Wiggins,” Mike Whelan, who Dr. Martin is shown in the above photo located the tape when I brought up its existence, and Mrs. Dorothy Stix, giving the videotape from Mrs. Stix to Dr. Richard Sveum, President of the Friends widow of Tom Stix, Jr., who donated the videotape. of the Sherlock Holmes Collections.
