I've known Val, and dealt with him since the mid '60s. I know of him as a fellow collector even as far back as the late 1950s, before I even moved to USA. His shop always had whatever one would want, and had been seeking for several years. Sometimes the price was too high, if it was a rare record, and desired by many collectors. But Val was honourable and fair. I dealt with Craig Moerer for many years, as well as John Tefteller in Oregon. Bob Mays in Detroit, Beverly Records in Chicago, Kop's Records [[Martin Koppel) in Toronto, Rip Lay and Bob Cattaneo in The San Francisco Bay Area, and Art Turco in Orange County, CA, Southern Music in Calgary, and a lot more.
