Excerpts:
"Jimmy was only six or so when his father, a schoolteacher, started him off on stamp collecting.
“'He gave me a handful of used stamps still stuck on envelopes or on parts of envelopes, no doubt a lesson to get me to learn about other countries, geography, zoology and botany, currencies, history, biography and other things that one can learn from stamps. I eventually concentrated on Philippine stamps, but stopped when I could no longer afford to buy the missing items to fill the blanks in my stamp album,'” Jimmy begins.
Have fun!
