THOSE WERE THE DAYS...THE 1950S WHEN STAMPS WERE ABOUT THREE CENTS AND I WAS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD

My stamp collecting interests were the result of my interest in history. One of the neighbors, an elderly gentleman who was a retired editor of a newspaper, had a basement full of old National Geographics and all types of reading materials. To make a long story short, he was an invalid and restricted to bed. His wife was a gardener and always outside in the summer time. I would venture across the street and talk with the lady every once in awhile. She was a sweet lady, always wearing a bonnet. She asked if I  would like to talk to her husband about history. I said yes. Well, from that day on, until he died, we spent an hour or so every day or so talking about history. He was a wise man. He would find an interest he knew I was interested in, mention it in some manner and then wait for my questions. I was curious. He had the answers and enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Thus, I received some first-person lessons on the Spanish American War and stories about his uncles and relatives who had been in the Civil War. The memory of that man reclining in his study in bed with a blanket up to his chin is still clear. When he died, he left me the beginning of an interesting  United States stamp collection. Had I continued collecting, my collection would be worth a few thousand dollars, but I found more pressing interests as I entered my twenties and the collection is long gone. It served a good purpose when I was interested in keeping it up to date and maintaining it as a proud collector. Sometimes, boys grow up before they are really ready to grow up.
