- In 1944 at the age of 12, I was first exposed to a public stamp exhibition and convention of national scope in Milwaukee. Having collected stamps for only a short period of time prior to this exhibition, I was really impressed and determined some day to play a role myself in the hobby. My parents gave me more than the usual encouragement fully realizing the wonderful educational potentials of stamp collecting.
