I have been a collector for more than 60 years. No longer able
to keep up with a general collection, I specialize in the stamps,
covers, etc. commemorating Rotary International, Kiwanis
International, and the America's Cup yachting races, the boats, and
the personalities. I appreciate the patience my new European
friends have extended as it has been 50 years since I studied
French in high school (3 years), and nearly that
long since I studied German in college (1 semester).
I have picked up a very little Spanish from hearing it spoken,
and from my basic knowledge of ecclesiastical Latin. I
can generally read all three languages, although I am not able to
speak or write that well any more (other than
English).
