I am am a collector of WW 1840-1952 (especially Europe) and France and Ukraine (all times) as well as postal history from all those areas. I also collect covers addressed to me from different countries.

Welcome aboard, Daniel! Post often, express your opinions frequently, and, above all, tolerate the old, opinionated curmudgeons among us who remove our right foot from our mouth so we can insert our left.

I was willing to fall on my sword, Mike, but as long as you bring it up...

re: Collector from New Jersey
Welcome Daniel!!! From a fellow New Jerseyite or Jerseyan, whichever you prefer. For the record I was taught Jerseyite in grade school but it seems to have fallen out of favor.
Welcome, Daniel, good to have another New Jerseyan here on SOR! I was born in Newark and grew up in EDISON. My dad still lives in the same house I grew up in and every time I go home for a visit, it's like I never left. BOB
That's my sons name. Welcome. I too am dabbling with a worldwide collection. I'm curious as to how you are housing your collection. Pre-printed, making your own pages, Vario? I love a great WW collection.
I'm also from New Jersey. Born in Jersey City, last lived in Hazlet, I still own a house there. I moved to Pennsylvania 4 years ago for a career opportunity. I live a bit west of Philadelphia.

My mom grew up in Jersey and I spent summers there with my grandparents. I still have Jersey-isms that slip into speech from time to time!

My Hubby has a ton of cousins in the Tom's River area. His aunt and uncle had a house on the coast and when he was a kid they would drive out from Michigan for a visit. Do you know any Rauschenbergers?
