I'm Len Turner, I live in East Texas, and I'm a stamp collector. I'm 67 years old and have been collecting stamps for close to 40 years. I collected US & WW for many of those years, but in the past few years have downsized to British Empire to 1952. Although in the past I've used Scott, Minkus, Mystic, and Gibbons albums, I have for the last 10 years or so used Bill Steiner's Stamp Album Web pages. I get most of my stamps from APS circuits, the APS Stamp Store, ebay and BidStart.
I belong to several other stamp collecting forums and enjoy them all. I'm sure I'll do the same here.
Regards,
Len

Greetings Len, hope you enjoy your stay.
I have abandoned Gibbons, they have lost the plot, albeit, their Commonwealth depth of knowledge is second to none.
The Digital searchable printable Scott, is such a pleasure to use, and the future in stamp collecting in my view.
I regret not using them from when I began, the change over represents lots of typing.

Welcome, Len! Are you a Texan or just living there? I'm half Texan on my mama's side.  |

Thanks, Folks! Zuzu... I'm Texan through and through. I guess I should've said, "Howdie Podnah," but they only say that in movies...  We do, although, still say "y'all." Len |

Hi Len. Welcome to The Stamp Forum!
My only connection to Texas is that I spent a few weeks during 1972 training there, I've got several FDCs of the Texas Statehood issue (Scott 938), and my future Daughter-in-Law is from Houston.

We do, although, still say "y'all." I say "y'all" quite a bit, which sometimes garners strange reactions up here in Nebraska.  |

Thanks, all y'all! Glad to be here. The wife likes the avatar. She said it looked like one of my old elementary school pictures...  Regards, Len |
