I always was interested in the past. As a child, I often spent time after school at an antique shop near my home. In college, I majored in anthropology, because at the time I wanted to be an archaeologist. That fell through, but eventually I started my own business selling souvenirs (books, toys, etc.) at Civil War reenactments. After doing that for twenty years, I now cruise estate sales and sell items online. I like to try to return family bibles to their families, when I can. I also collect old photographs (CDV's).
