New guy names John or graphic from kingman AZ

Ya got everything it’s a collection my father in law collected with his wife her being a optimist and organized perfectionist that loved to collect stamps.him have grown up collecting since the 30s ya stamp collecting since the 30s. Grown up working in his moms saloon working there till he jot a job building tanks for the war. And finally worked for  Anheuser-Busch ( bud wiser)for the 35 years as the legendary head engineer mechanic that flew round the world to all factory’s working 7 days a week for 35 years. He retired at 80 years old in 2012. As a couple of stamp collectors he was very very rich saving all his money multi millionaires and never had any obstacle obtaining a stamp of any caliber.well there Is not  a stamp they couldn’t obtain, they knew not of the feeling that want that most people feel every day that only if they had that one stamp it would change their life or high ten the collection value. Well I have only known him and his daughter my girlfriend and Ed her father for five years as his wife passed 3 years before I had been welcomed in to this family.great man and r.i.p as in may this year he passed. And now he has been a sort of guide to me and it’s inspired me to learn this art. I’ve not a clue of what’s here but treasure hunter and learner by heart and will. That feeling that you call every other collection inherited Ecstatic  poster new guy has claimed. I assure you this is a not in any way the same feeling they have. I also understand the feeling they share in all reality. By my feeling is not a feeling of yay what or why or how or maybe it’s ....mor of a feeling of last move on a high stakes chess game and my Queen is the winning blow of victory ten moves ahead inevitable and no questions in my whole body lol but is done and is already THAT collection indeed so it’s kinda just there, no butterfly’s or over joyed feeling just another treasure amongst the rest.prized but this one is a source of mass historical value able knowledge that expands past the threshold of the normal artifact limited to its self and knowledge and history that, soon ends while the one seeking more knowledge is halted at a end of the fun learning and un happy end to the chase of an item that is thrilling like treasure.so as you put it you are absolutely correct that in your reply I would state the same if asked or felt a need to reply. So I thank you for that and being my first post mate here in this treasure map of a site. I’m here to chase this thrill I feel is here like a red X on a pirates map lol hopefully everyone likes my style and we will gain intellect and grow bonds and befriend one another ..till next time

Hey nice to meet you I’m glad to hear from you all . Debating what to post for my first photo so it’s coming to a decision that’s taking time lol

Ok will do before I post Or try to anyways. Ya it’s kool for starting a storage company. We’re starting up a mini self storage in rout 66. Almost tome to break ground got 3 parcels ready. As you mentioned Prescott funny nice place to go rockhounding. I happen to live on a N Prescott St 😂.

Well thanks for your intro nice to talk to ppl. Why go over seas.war? Stamps? Or is this you don’t like us any more, just a joke. Well I like the name you got so science first then stamps rite it brings memories of my diy smelting projects and fun times in science in the 7th grade just what pops in my head when I hear your username lol kool I got Steve down in my notes for a admin is that correct ?

Thanks for your reply, John (graphicbadger92 ).  Best of luck with the storage business!  Yes, I am a big Route 66 fan, which is one of the reasons that I found my way to Kingman in the first place.
I am happy to say that I did not move overseas due to war (thankfully!), but as your later comment indicates, it was due to my job.  I lost my job in the US in Jan-2017 that allowed me to live in the Prescott area, and I wasn't ready to retire just then, despite what an individual at my then-employer may have decided.

As you have correctly guessed from my site name, I have a specialist, science-based profession, so when I went to find a new job, the offer I got was to work overseas.  I moved to France in Mar-2018, and lived there for over a year and a half before getting another job offer that took me to England, where I am now.  If I had gotten a job offer that would have allowed me to stay in the Prescott area, I would have stayed.  My wife and I liked it there very much.
Yes, our Admin's name is Steve.  Do you know how to send a PM?

John, so glad you have joined us, and I am looking forward to your future posts.

All the Best, Chris 

PM questions about using the forum -- post questions (on the appropriate board) about stamps.

Wellcome John (graphicbadger92 ), enjoy the treasure hunt :-)

For now though, enjoy you time here and I look forward seeing more of your material, hearing a tale or two and perhaps even learning something new!
Pull up a chair, there is plenty of room...


Happy collecting!

Yes I feel very welcomed and you all are great forum pals Steve will do on the appropriate area to post questions in the future. 

and I just found an envelope a few with 1800s stamps on covers and two seem to be un opened with literature lol my luck I guess envelope is a little fragile and not a color I’ve seen well I’ll let you all know what I read when done hear I go we’re is that letter opener...

Thank you this is a great forum I have just learned how to scan stamps instead of taking photos. 😆
