I was a regular poster on StampExchange and post occasionally on SCF. My main collecting interests are US Newspaper & Periodical stamps and Nassau Street stamp dealer covers.
I dabble in chess topicals, Newfoundland, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, stamp society and club cinderellas.
I have a decent stamp collecting library around 600 volumes. Yes, I know much of it is online these days, but I like books and the feel of hardcopy in my hands.
I am 72, married, four kids and eight grandchildren. I live in Golden, Colorado currently. I collected as a kid and came back to the hobby around 7-8 years ago. My original interest was classic US but have sort of lost the thread of things on those issues. I am a retired commodity futures and FX money manager, have written on the subject and still trade a little for myself. Other hobbies are collecting chess literature and (just started) building model car kits. “The passions of our youth.” I read a lot, also.

Hello molokai, I used to have a pretty decent chess library, but I disbursed it because (a), chess was getting too computer-oriented, and (b) I was pretty mediocre - a competent but somewhat plodding competitor with very little imagination - and wanted to find things to do that I had some flair for. (I'm still looking.) I kinda wish I still had the book that Mikhail Botvinnik autographed for me during his only visit to the United States. |

Hi - The computers have pretty much ruined the game per se for me. But the stamps and ephemera are fun. An autographed Botvinnik would be cool! |

Guten Tag, Herr Doktor! Yes, shame about SE - but this Board looks very nice once I get the hang of things...sort of a slow learner. |

What's the story behind your username 'Molokai'? Have you been there, or lived there, or interested in Molokai philately?
