During the January meeting of the Founding Chap­ ter, it was decided that we would sponsor a roll auction for members of AMICA International. Because the by­ laws say that the club is responsible for assisting in the dispersal of recordings, and it has been a long time since AMICA held a national roll auction, we decided to leap into the breech. Howie Koff will serve as head of the auction com­ mittee. Serving on the committee with Howie will be his wife Isadora, Tom and Ida Fryer, Bill Wherry, Chapter President Phil McCoy, his wife Phyllis and his son Paul, jump off the player piano transmission, but having Jack and Dianne Edwards.

Ampico Artist, Paul Doguereau Located by Ai Greco

In a recent issue of the Bulletin there was an article which mentioned an Ampico roll, "PETROUCHKA," played by Mr. Doguereau. It also mentioned he was being sought by other writers and members as well. The· name rang a bell with me, as a book on all Ampico rolls listed that name and stated he just couldn't be located.

CHICAGO AREA

An Evanston Christmas by Wynette Edwards

The Chicago Area Chapter had its second annual Christmas pot luck and piano roll grab bag in the Evanston home of Stephen Barick and Michael Durst. Stephen gave a short history of the 8500 square foot home and described the style as transitional- between Tudor and arts and crafts. He invited all of us to roam wherever we pleased. We all roamed, poked in nooks and crannies, played and listened to the 1926 Chickering Ampico A, tried the secret passage, made (too) many trips to the groaning board and enjoyed the good conver­ sations.

Outgoing Vice President Mike Ehart received a superman poster for his phone booth.

Christmas with the Pohls / by Paul Morgenroth

The Heart of America group converged on the fair city of Joplin in Southwest MO for a Christmas celebra­ tion and business meeting on December 12. The Bill Pohl family hosted the affair which offered an outstand­ ing and entertaining tour of the Pohl collection of au­ tomatic music machines. I was impressed with the warm and natural atmosphere as Bill, Billie, and son, Don, did their most to please each and everyone in their home. In addition to all this they served a full fried chicken dinner with all the extras. Don took charge at the soda fountain where he prepared a super chocolate Our Christmas group from three states, in front of the Pohls' sundae for each guest. To sum it up - three cheers for Joplin, MO home. Bill, Billie and Don, the perfect hosts. The Heart of America Chapterwhich was born in the recreation room of Galen and Linda Bird, K.C., MO, November 5, 1980 with 8 people present, had its charter meeting at the Overland Park, KS home of the Jerry Cusick family, October of 1981 with well over 80 people present. Since this grand occasion our chapter has be­ stowed honorary membership upon 2 worthy individu­ als, Floyd Miles and Margaret Taylor. Itwas a pleasure to all, (even though there is a distance of about 250 miles between Floyd in Eureka Springs, Ark., and Margaret in K.C., KS) that they were both able to be present at our Christmas event. Floyd's daughter, Marlene Coiner who ,-- is actively involved with the Miles Mt. Music Museum, was also present. At our business meeting, we dealt with two big items. First was a thorough report on the activities of the '84 AMICA Convention in Kansas City, MO headed by Ron Bopp. A lot has been accomplished on this matter and things are coming into focus for what I believe to be Mary Ellen Connor, Katie Hellstein, Mary Switzer and newly a successful, unique, and enjoyable convention.

Riggs Host Party by Bill Toeppe

The traditional annual Christmas party of the AMICA Southern California Chapter was held at the home of Dick and Millie Riggin La Habra, California in the evening of Saturday, 4 December 1982.

It would seem that one could describe any host's home in glowing terms. The Fryer's home is no differ­ ent, but it is different. Not only is the home well de­ signed, and furnished, and decorated, but all of that work, from the first sketch to the last dab of paint was done by Tom and Ida themselves. The pride that Tom and Ida Fryer show in their home is well earned. The piano that got Tom and Ida interested in AMICA is a Chickering upright Ampico. It has been in Ida's family for many years. When she came into possession of it, she decided that she wanted to seriously spend some time in listening to the tremendous things of which it is capable. Since that time, she has had all the technical work done on it that it needed, and has begun to collect rolls in earnest. She is probably hoping that many good Ampico rolls will show up in the roll auc­ ./ tion. Since the subject of a roll auction has just been broached, the business meeting portion of the get­ together was highlighted by the chapter's decision to Dr. Kugler giving some history on part of the collection.
