My time has come. After a half century of traveling and collecting just about anything and everything, it is time to think of children and grandchildren. Through the upcoming months, hundreds of items must go. NO RESERVE. Ancient coins, medieval royal and papal documents, antiquarian, rare and signed books, blowguns from Borneo, mega-bats from Java, as well as Samurai armor, woodblock prints, stamps, Viking and Byzantine relics, antiquarian maps, pre-Columbian artifacts, fossils and much more must find a new home. Many of the items are quite rare.
A copy of my second book “Unchained, Tales of Overcoming the Impossible Through Faith and Action” will be addressed as you wish and signed free of charge for sales over $300 . But you must ask, it is not automatic…believe me, at my age, nothing is automatic. The book covers the historical battles and struggles of several the greater and lesser known events; from Tours to Vienna to the Armenian Genocide from the eyes of the “grunts in the front”. It also includes several probing short stories and a bit of radical poetry. A hardback copy is $30 on Amazon.
