I'm a 54 year old Kentuckian who was heavily into the hobby as a kid in the 70's. My wife and I were cleaning the garage while on vacation a few weeks back and I found my old Scott's Minuteman album that I thought I'd lost in the move 10+ years ago. Since then I've been slipping off to ebay to upgrade things a little at a time, and I've rediscovered everything that the hobby taught me back in those dark days of middle school and early high school. If only algebra had a correlation to stamps.... As it was, I learned as much or more through collecting than I did in the bulk of my classes, much of which I seem to still remember today. I'm enjoying the forums, and am determined not to be a pest.

Thanks for the welcome. Right now I'm having a good time just picking up mint US stamps to replace a lot of those that were space fillers from the old days, (much to the amusement of my wife.) I always told myself that my first purchase when I got a job was going to be the 1847 Washington and Franklin stamps, and I'm kicking myself for not following through on it. I'm a US collector and I'm trying not to be confused or intimidated. I think my next project will be to update my album since it hasn't been done since 1980.
