<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 323008, member: 8033&quot;]Guess I&#039;m different than most people but I guess a lot of you have figured that out on your own. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>No one in my family collected or collects to this day. I just like old stuff and always have.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think my interest in old stuff may have actually started when we would go to visit my grandmother in Knox, IN. 1960s, small town and nothing to do for a kid. My sister and I would go for a walk to break the boredom and found an old cemetary. A family plot apparently as the vast majority of the stones were people named Humphries. Most died in the 1850s and even at a young age I wondered why.</p><p><br /></p><p>This go me into the old stuff I figure so when I was 6 I asked for a coin collector kit that I saw in the Sears catalogue for Christmas. Santa came through and I&#039;ve been going since then. Took my breaks in my late teens till about 30. Other interests and having bills to pay etc. but back in full force for about 15 years now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did find out about the Humphries as well. A friend of my grandmother looked into it. Seems that scarlet fever really took it&#039;s toll on the family. A bunch of people that died over 150 years ago piqued my curiosity I guess.</p><p>Go figure.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
