CREDITS - MOMSR 10/1/2012 to 12/31/2017 (non- profit dissolved 12/31/17) NOTE: some donors have been added that donated to the collection after MOMSR was dissolved. A very special thanks to my wife Chris Theophilus who initiated this collection with the gift of the Edison cylinder player. Chris has helped carry many heavy tape recorders to our second floor studio and collection display.  She's also put up with endless hours about tape recording. Of course Chris does have her horse stable. To my parents who always supported my pursuit of recording and allowed me to build a recording studio into their home. Also, thanks to everyone who provided content or perspective to this production! And to our Board of Directors who worked from 2012 to 2017 to make the permanent public facility a reality! Unfortunately support for the project was not forthcoming.
