Hi Chris
The real credit goes to my Aunt.
In 1959, my dear Aunt Anna lived alone. We had a big house, so I convinced my Mom to have Aunty move in with us. My Aunt was a proverbial "pack-rat".
In 1960, I enlisted into the US Air Force. While I was there (4-years), my Mom decided to clear out my room. I was very fortunate, though, my Aunt saved
all my BB cards, Lionel trains, and Stamp collection. Furthermore, she was smart enough to store all of these "goodies" in our home's attic.
