    Interests- personal
    I have taken a great interest in collecting popular toys and other collectibles for the past thirty five years. I was lucky enough to keep my toys and collectibles in good condition throughout the years.  My favorite collectibles include Beatle memorabilia, BettyBoop, Felix the Cat, and movie stills.  This special interest has developed into a meaningful hobby.

    I also enjoy learning online.  I believethe possibliities are endless and I love to share my enthusiasmand links with students and friends around the world.
