Default PSA 1 Fr-Pr

Adam,

I can relate to your bringing up your daughter as a single-
parent. And, your hopes of retiring at age 50.

I have done both. My wife an I were divorced amicably back in
1972 (no lawyers were involved to screw things up). She wanted
to go back to Maine after 7 years of marriage; you could call
it a "7-year itch". Both of us (500 miles apart) brought up
our daughter, Zoe.

And, when Zoe married, I helped her bring up her son, Ron; when
his father died. So, I appreciate and admire you as a respon-
sible father.

At 51, I retired from a very prestigious Electronics Communi-
cations Co. My conservative investments in real estate and
company stocks allowed me to retire at this relatively young
age.

My sportscards collecting over the years is different than most
members of this Forum. I love the long-term challenge of com-
pleting BB card sets. I need not elaborate, but my collection
spans 1888 - 1967 (N162 Goodwins - 1967 Topps). And, the other
aspect of my collecting habit, that differ from most here, is
that I dislike the Grading Card phenomena. I think in the long
run it will prove to have had a negative impact on our hobby.
Already, I observe how it has had a diminishing effect on set
collectors, these past 10 years.

God Bless you....Adam
