>>Started 12/98. << Gee mombo, seems like yesterday. :-)

I started in '95, first piece was Mackinac, then the Stamp Series. Joined the Society in its first year. Now we have every retired piece but Coquille, all the 9500 series, ornaments, thumbnails, NPL, REXA, Christmas, and many of the 10k set. First two in A/B set. And of course a BoB Tree without which any collection pines for fullfilment. :-)

Its not just a hobby, its an adventure. You meet the nicest people at a lighthouse and I've made many friends through HL collecting.

Rgds,
