[Keith H. Thompson]

I've known Josh since he was a high school student helping his mother set up and sell at New England antique shows. He had a precocious instinct for baseball cards and memorabilia, and his enthusiasm was infectious. I believe Josh is a graduate of Babson College. In those years he usually had a corner of the family booth devoted to baseball, and it took off from there.

My collection of seats and chairs from all of the fourteen parks that the "original" sixteen major league teams played in (say 1950) owes much to Josh. He had a good eye, and always described the chair accurately.

I will remember Josh and his family with great fondness.
