HI All From Colorado

Hi may name is Connell Marsden , Call me Conn
I started collecting stamps at the age of 8. I was never very sophisticated about it, and did it in spurts. I am now 84 and have no one to leave my collection to. I flew a B24 in WWII, went to school on the GI Bill. I worked for Nevada Power Company (Now NVEnergy)in Las Vegas for 36 years and retired as Vice President of Rates and Regulatory Affairs .
I have been living in SW Colorado since I retired. Lately I have been going through all my stamps and have sold my Scott Hingless album and two Plate Block Albums on ebay.
Over the years while working for Nevada Power I would periodically check the mail room for stamps, and I saved hundreds, envelope and all.
Thirty or forty years ago I purchased a H.E. Harris Company Inc. album "STAMPS OF WORLD WAR II" with some packets of stamps. H.E.Harris has gone out of business and I have not found any mention of "STAMPS OF WORLD WAR II". Anyway my one volume has blossomed into 6 Volumes, and I am planning to sell them. They are categorized in parts.
PREFACE TO WAR
PART 1: LEADERS OF WAR
PART 2: ALLIED NATIONS
PART 3: AXIS NATIONS
PART 4: AXIS PUPPETS
PART 5 CAPTIVE NATIONS
PART 6: VICTORY

Since I was 18 when I went into the Army Air Force, I didn't pay much attention to the history of the war, so for my own satisfaction in my embellished album I have included a brief history of each nation involved along with their stamps. I really don't know if the albums will be of interest to anyone or not.
I ramble, thanks for your interest;
