I'm in Catskill visiting my son Froggy.I'm a very old slightly less than frail 96 year old collector with over eighty years of experience. I've semi-met a lot of you through gifts sent my way for which I thank each and everyone of you.I'll have Froggy post more for me while I'm down this way and love reading all your posts.

Good day to you FrogMom! You raised a good "kid," so that must mean you are a terrific mom. 80 years a collector? That means you could have purchased Zepps over the counter! Of course, at the time they were released, the purchase price could feed a family for a week, so I presume that didn't happen.
Have a good visit!

Welcome to our forum, Frog Mom! It is nice to have another U.S. collector join us. You should ask your son to post some scans of your favorite material. You might even consider having him register you as a member so you can have your own user ID.

Steve,Mom's collection is at her house which has never had a computer in it.I'll get around to registering Mom if(when) she decides to come move here.She is fascinated looking at Ebay which she has never seen before.She also has a very extensive WW collection numbering some 125 binders.

Afraid I've worn Mom out.We took her to the pub for some BBQ wings and mac and cheese.I then handed her Billigs Volume 22 and her mind is now open to just how specialized her son has become.I then showed her my page of the mountie issue with all it's notations.I informed her she had created this monster by introducing me to stamps.I hope she decides to come live with us,the edge we may have is the new cat residing here while her owner is in Iowa training with a trucking company.We may just end up with the cat(Kit Kat)if he ends up with cross country runs.Mom would love a cat but is unable to properly care for it due to her mobility issues.Thanks all for making her feel included.
