Dear
Professor Roth,
I
would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your donation of artifacts
to our collections. We at the Nobel Museum now showcase your "Mr. Matching
t-shirt" in a display with artifacts donated by last years Nobel
laureates. I attach a few photos from the display (apologies for the somewhat
poor resolution). Also in the display you see for instance a piece of art from
the European Union, a book collection from Mo Yen and pipettes from Shinya
Yamanaka.
Best
regards
Olof
Somell

In earlier correspondence, soliciting an artifact, he wrote to me describing some previous contributions (email of Friday Nov 2 2012):
"To illustrate: two years ago Professor Diamond
presented us with a baseball shirt custom made by his graduate students, citing
his long-time devotion to the Red Sox and the link between calculating batting
averages as a child and his later interest in statistics and economics. Last
year Professor Sargent presented us with a Hard times token given to him by his
grandfather: an object that sparked his interest in economics. "
If I recall correctly, I gave them two T-shirts given to me by my students and postdocs at a surprise 50th birthday party, the one shown (which is a picture of me over the caption "Mr Matching") and one showing pictures of all of them...
And there I thought you might have gone with an unmatched kidney.
