Seems like only yesterday, Jakers played the part of "Little Buddy" for the Collector Forums. His real name was a mystery since he was so young.

And now, he's a Syracuse College Graduate on the way to Grad School in Milwaukee! Wow! (Even chose a grad-school close to lighthouses!)

I've scanned through my photos to give you a look at Stephen through the years. If you've got some of the "boy-collector", please feel free to add them here.

I'll email his mom and see if there are any 'bear-skin rug' shots. (Just kidding, kid.)


Age 10 - Already 'hooked' on lighthouses.
