It is practically cyber stalking. I said as much to Ellie Goldstein's son when he and I spoke. I figure it could be unnerving for the person/family at the other end. Hence why I was rather reluctant to contact one of the Goldstein family members. For Doc's watch, the Marshall family friend that contacted, and whom I have spoken with, is the one that advised not to contact... saying, the living daughter would be quite upset. And I think I know why about the watch: I'm fairly certain that Doc was wearing it at the time he was killed.

It is not a happy ending story. But that drives home that as a vintage watch collector, that there were real people connected to these watches before whom have lived their lives. It is a sobering thought, to say the least.
All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
