Collecting Areas of Interest

I started with stamps as well. Mostly US, and like Ted, stamps from Greece (my grandparents were immigrates from Samos).

I'm not sure I was a baseball card "collector". I bought cards with collected glass pop bottle deposit money. They were played with, traded, used and abused. I still have them, but they are very well loved

So even the cards I buy now are used and well loved, since that's what I remember from my youth.

Having relatives that served during WW1 and WW2 sparked an interest in military history. I still collect and research items that vets brought back with them, along with divisional and unit histories. While serving in France during WWI, Harry Truman often wrote to his fianc� Bess Wallace. In one correspondence he wrote, �I heard a Frenchman remark that Germany was fighting for territory, England for the sea, France for patriotism, and Americans for souvenirs.�
