Afraid I can be of no help on Emig, but ah, old Karl Swanson; that name brings back nice memories. Wonderful old fellow, wrote me a note on the INSIDE of a security envelope. Had a pic he sent along, asked like 2-3 bucks for printing costs, which I happily sent.

Sad to think how that generation of great oldtime mail signers is almost completely gone now. These guys from the 60s-on just don't interest me as much as the Bill Werbers, Karl Swansons and Dutch Fehrings of the past.

Gosh, I miss the old collecting days, when the autograph hobby was at least somewhat more innocent and not quite as money-driven...Never have that back.
