1. "Antiques Roadshow"

Just this minute there was this guy on the Boston antiques Road show saying "this belonged to Lizzie Borden" "This belonged to Lizzie Borden".
He had an inscribed Rebello and opened it to the will and said that he had her serving silver and an inlaid table that had been willed to his grandmother (? I am not sure if I heard that part right). He opened Rebello to page 332. The antiques guy was impressed he had tracked down the will. He told him the silver had value because of the silver content. Told the man to find out the value without the "gruesome" ownership and then add an amount to that because she owned it.
The final value was "several thousand dollars."
Anybody else hear it and can tell who the guy was and who he was related to Lizzie-wise???

i saw Antiques Roadshow, Stef, and what you heard was correct. I think I remember that the guy's grandmother lived in a town in MA other than FR. He might have said that Lizzie stayed with her at times. His grandmother told him that it was willed to her by Lizzie as I recall. The guy didn't say anything more about why or where. It was a pretty short segment. Can't recall him saying anything about being related to Lizzie.
