In the spring of 2002, the Library of Congress sent Vicky Risner, Director of the Music Division, to meet with Olaf Bolm to discuss what he might be willing to donate to the Library of Congress. Vicky is shown on the right with a deteriorating original sketch signed by Roehrich, which is now in the collection at the Library of Congress.
  Vicky Risner and Olaf Bolm are shown below as Olaf relates memories from his years with his father, Adolph Bolm.
