Unfortunately I doubt any of us here know what happened with Winnie. We were all shocked and were not even away of your Fathers Passing until almost 2 months after the fact. https://ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77835#p813490

IIRC there's actually a thread here somewhere begun by the purchaser. I believe he was located relatively close to me. It I search through my posts I might find it...
