Bio - "My aunt started me collecting in the early 1950s. I was fascinated shortly after by the geysers in Yellowstone and thus with Icelandic stamps. Still I was a general collector, taking what I could get. After serving in the Peace Corps in Columbia, South America, I added Columbia to my special collections. Finally, deciding in the 80's I couldn't collect the whole world, I decided on one country per continent and a few topical. Pulling from childhood interests, I started accumulating Mozambique Company, Tanna Tuva, New Zealand, New World archeology and astronomy. I developed an interest in covers and lots of mini-collections have developed from that. I first exhibited in 1980 and most recently at PIPEX in May. I am a retired high school teacher - English, Spanish, math and other things on occasions. I have two kids and five grandkids. I currently live in Oregon."
