Greetings from the Bayou State

Greetings all from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.

I've been stamp collecting for almost 22 years. I began collecting when my first grandchild was born because I felt that despite my young age for being a grandfather I needed to do something "grandfatherly" so I started a stamp collection. In actuality I view it as my granddaughter's stamp collection and I as merely the steward of the collection. Sadly my granddaughter is ambivalent about the whole thing.

My collecting interests are:
National Collections:
United States
Canada
Poland
Liechtenstein

Topical:
Non-Denominated US Postage from 1975 until the first Forever stamp
National Parks (US)
Louisiana (US)
Texas (US)
New Mexico (US)
America at War (US)
Nudes & Pin-Ups (WW)
Ships & Watercraft (WW)
Love & Special Occasions (US)
Chris Calle Engraved (US)
US Bicentennial (WW)
Baseball (WW)
American Football (WW)

Regional:
Latin America
Scandinavia

I'm also have a soft spot for kiloware (currently still sorting right at 30 pounds I acquired a few years back).

Look forward to posting with you all and glad to be here.
