a perfect excuse for me to pay a visit to the auction house owner, peter loughery. peter?. >> hi. how are you? i'm jamie. >> good! welcome. >> ah! and there's a nakashima. >> yeah, this is one our favorite pieces. it's a round table in a round space. >> turns out peter has studied and collected nakashima furniture for almost 30 years. >> i think the first nakashima piece i bought, i may have been 18 or 19 years old. it was still considered used furniture. >> once loughery sets the auction date, the family ships the bennett collection to la. did you have a reaction when you saw the furniture being packed up and taken out? >> we had our last family dinner, and we sat around the table, and we talked about edmund. we all held hands, and we said a prayer of thanksgiving for the table and for edmund, and hoped that the next family that had the table have the pleasures that we had with it. ♪ >> as the big day approaches, diane bennett and three of ed's children fly to la. elizabeth brings her two children, and, of course, pam hardie is there, too. >> i wouldn't have missed being
