Transfer of Bob Moog Archives Leads to Controversy

So...Bob Moog's widow apparently reneged on an agreement with Moog's daugher Michelle Moog-Koussa to officially transfer ownership of Dr. Bob's archives to The Bob Moog Foundation, a non-profit organization that has been collecting and restoring the archives for over 7 years. The archives are slated to be transferred to Cornell University where Dr.Moog received his engineering degree about the same time the Moog synthersizer was being demonstrated at the AES.
Ms. Moog-Koussa who is the founder of the Boob Moog Foundation had this to say: "The Moog Family is saddened and surprised not to be part of the discussion to move our father’s archives away from the organization where they would receive the most well-rounded care, and away from the area where the Bob Moog Foundation, Moog Music, and Moogfest are located."
