I am 52 years old, married to a great lady. (I definitely married up). Wife is a school teacher. I was a commercial banker for 23 years with US Bank, and then Wells Fargo. Left two years ago, and started my own real estate investment company. I was written up in the Old Cardboard two issues ago. Things are great. Two kids, daughter 24, son 22. Both are college grads, who are well on their way to success. Daughter was two time fast pitch all conference shortstop in high school, and one time all state selection, and went on to a Div. 2 school and was also all conference. Came in second in home runs in her Senior year to a "rather large girl" from the University of Minn.) My son is great, and is with Medtronics here in the twin cities. I have been collecting cards since I was 5. My goal is to collect everything, cards, mags, pins, series tickets which he played in, anything relating to Jimmie Foxx. I would guess I am half way there. I am only missing one mag. as far as I can tell. I have all the pins. Including one that is uncat. Who knows if I will ever make it. All cards are graded, by the big three. I also collect a bit of Hack Wilson, and a bit of Black Sox. Former SABR member. Active in local Rotary. Board member of three other civic groups, one of which is the Historical Society. I live on a large lake. Beautiful view every day. I prefer waves and water, to looking at ice. I am a possessed collector, for which there is no cure. I am truly crazed. But loving it....Thanks to all the forum members who have helped me locate cards. I tend to fly under the radar. Thanks much.

Edited to add: I also collect foxx wire photos and news photos, and personal non-baseball related Foxx photos. I love the ones where is like sitting by his Christmas tree with his kids... feeding some geese with Goose Goslin etc. etc. I have about 50 originals of him.
