Remembering Ferdinand Erblich, who today seven years ago joined the stars. a memorable experience was going through his pile of close to 400 Jaff's in all shapes and sizes. We both enjoyed the variations in a proscribed form. This also made him a world famous musician and a conoisseur of wine. It is rare to meet someone whose sensibilities are so richly developed through three senses - eyes, ears, mouth. As a collector he combined deep knowledge with an intuitively refined aesthetic and unashamed aquisitiveness. a lone star at the firmament and a rare friend.
