 | Trigger is in the family museum in Apple Valley, California, where he and Dale lived after retiring.  So is Bullet and Nellie Belle.  I think they have a bunch of his guitars there as well. |

 | Actually, the family museum was moved out of Calif.  I don't know where it went and with this auction, it sounds like it's being dismantled..... |

 | Trigger, in all his rearing glory, is available at the Christie's auction.  So is Nellie Belle. |

 | OMG, first the old ostrich farm, now the RR Museum.  What next for those poor folks in the high desert?  That's where my parents live. |
