I'm sorry to learn, even belatedly, of Arlene's passing. I recently found their business card.
Many, many years ago, when I first ventured into buying antiques and came across the Orcutts at an outdoor show. I first learned the definition of "pickers" from them. I eventually purchased a complete Beers Atlas of Westchester and another Beers of the complete Hudson Valley. Richard admonished me that, even though it would be more profitable to cut up and sell the individual maps, it would be more responsible, historically, to keep the atlases as complete volumes. I have kept my promise to him for more than 50 years and my atlases reside in the local historical society. My thanks to them for their caring.
