Abstract: During this short interview (at the end of a service and before Archimandrite Totzke had to leave on a trip), he told me how Gardner had twice lost his library during WWII. He also mentioned that according to the terms of Gardner's will, his scholarly books were to go either to the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich or to the University of Munich Library, while his collection of notated music had been willed to the monastery at Niederaltaich and were being stored in 5/6 large trunks awaiting cataloguing. - Denis G.
