joejoe we all are saddened by the passing of your Grandfather.

It looks like your Archon shares are now 3M shares. I do not know what the conversion rate was but for 1 share you own as of Friday March 19 would be worth $81.96. You will need to contact 3M with the numbers below or your Grandfathers broker to find out exactly how many share you have acquired. I hope this helps a little..
