Thanks Scott. I did graduate from there, that is where my wife and I met and started are family. We have two wonderful adult daughters. I love history and sports...as some may know I have/had the website - antiquesportscollector.com
That site was created in 2004 and is now so obsolete I can no longer update and maintain it. I will keep it up as a reference for others, but it can't be updated, and it was time for a new site. I have since sold off most of my non-Cornell sports collection (uniforms, bats, gloves, trophies, balls, etc...) and downsized to an apartment, but have kept all the Cornell pieces and continue to focus there. My wife is really supportive in allowing me to display in our apartment.
As for now catching my white whale...that has only given me more drive to find other pieces and learn their history - but there is great sense of piece and accomplishment that I don't have to go overboard. If I miss an item, so be it, there will be others.
Thanks
Joe
