I manage a Bowling center, the one sport I really excelled at. The owner allows me to go to Twins games in the summer, it is 120 miles west of Minneapolis. I use to have a card store, it was a dream job. I am single and have no expenses. Savings accounts suck and the stock market is iffy. Why not vintage cards? I love them . |

I'm the Midwest Regional Sales Manager for the largest Bottled Water company in the US. So I sell an item that everyone basically gets for free out of the sink, and I charge more per gallon than gasoline. Go figure. This is a great country that we live in. |

I'm a docent (lead tours) at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, I read late 19th and early 20th century novels to an old lady with Parkinson's disease, I help a blind girl balence her check book and send out birthday cards once a month, the government sends me two checks every month, and my cousin dribbles out little bits of money my mother left me in a "Special Needs Trust" (you lawyers might know what that is) so that the government won't stop sending me the two checks. |

for now I write "code" for a private company called GeneFormatics. We process DNA sequences at the amino acid (or protein) level then....determine their function, then structure. Hopefully one day, we will provide data to big pharma so they can cure/treat various diseases. Remember the name (shameless plug!). |

I'm the guy you never want to have to work with... because if you do it means that something really, really bad has happened to you. I'm a property claims adjuster for an insurance company, and I specialize in what my company considers "intermediate sized" losses (between $30,000 and $100,000 in damage). Usually these are residential house fires, and I do about 3-4 of them a month. |

Runscott - I believe that he is a distant relative, but I've never been able to prove it (there aren't all that many Obermeyer's around). If you looked at a picture of me from my early 20's and compare it to the card, I think that I look almost exactly like him. It's kind of spooky, really. Also, all of my family is from New York, which is where he was a runner. I've got 3-4 of the cards, but if anyone has any they want to sell cheap, let me know. |
