has been a collector of military
items since he was 11 and played
with World War II souvenirs in
Versailles, France. In the 39 years
since then, he has collected hun-
dreds of military medals, uni-
forms, equipment, patches, in-
signia and autographs of generals
and admirals. He has some cere-
monial swords and knives, but no
firearms. He also collects "letters
to home."
These are letters written by mil-
itary personnel in combat and can
have historical value. One of his
items is a set of 300 letters written
home to Laurel. In addition to the
military items, he has expertise in
antique civilian airline memora-
bilia.
These include airline wings and
insignia. As more and more air-
lines pass into history, these items
become popular with collectors.
He deals with his collections in
large Wade shows across the coun-
try and in Europe.
The other dealers' ext/ertise will
be featured in later articles. They
encompass many other facets of
antiques such as furniture, dolls,
jewelry, porcelains, banks, silver,
glassware, toys, crockery, ceram-
ics, lamps, enamels, old books
and maps, post cards, Indian arti-
facts, oil paintings and more.
Several residents, of the Manor
House will share the antiques in
their apartments for viewing by
those who have paid admission.
