Marty and Elise Roenigk have been long time supporters and dealers
in automatic music for many years.  Their service to the collecting
field and various organizations is immeasurable.

They were in a two-vehicle accident in southeast Iowa on Thursday
night in which Elise suffered a fractured arm, according to the
information person at the Crescent Hotel.  She is expected to be out
of the hospital in a week, which makes me think it could be more
than a fractured arm.  It was reported locally that the Roenigks
were on a trip to pick up an antique mechanical music machine for
the couple's collection in the Gavioli Chapel in Eureka Springs.

Marty did not survive the accident.
