As you no doubt have guessed, my wife's name is Suzanne and my name is Jim. We own and operate Western American Print Exchange, a small art gallery located on the property next to our house. We have been buying, selling and trading western art prints for thirty (30) plus years. Both of us retired from a major aerospace firm in December 1992.

    We enjoy traveling very much and I am afraid if we had an ample supply of money, we would be dangerous. We would probably take several trips each year. We drive a 1998 Ford Windstar van and really enjoy it. Our idea of roughing it is staying at a Courtyard by Marriott or a Fairfield Inn. Our travels include such places as the Grand Canyon both North and South rims, Monument Valley, Yellowstone, The Badlands, Painted Desert, all the way up the East Coast into Canada for a leaf peeping tour and many other great places. We enjoy driving since it allows us to stop and look whenever we want to.

    Some of our favorite artists include G. Harvey, Chuck DeHaan, and Robert Summers. Besides owning a large collection of limited edition prints, we also collect Joe Camel Stuff, Tom Clark Gnomes, Santa Claus', Pillsbury Doughboy Stuff, Chevron Cars, Wolf Heads, Indian Drums, Bows and Arrows, and just about any and everything else in the whole world we can afford........We are havin' fun! Oh, one other I'll mention is our extensive collection of John Wayne movies of which we are very proud.....believe we have around 130 or so!

    Suzanne's special interest is genealogy research and she spends as much time as possible in the National Archives in Fort Worth or the Fort Worth Public Library. She is also constantly searching the Internet for any information available on her ancestors: NEELY, LYNN, CASHON, AND DUDLEY families. She has a great time "roots digging" and would love to hear from other searchers. Her email address is [email protected].

    We have a blended family. There is my daughter, Leesa and her husband Jimmie who are embarking on building their first new home, fortunately located close to us. Should be an interesting experience for the next few months. Late breaking news.....they did it.....with pain and agony though!
