What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I collect Mark Lindsay autographs and I have a small collection of books and letters signed by a few of my favorite authors. I have a card with photo and info on how to join M. Ali's fan club that I got signed in the 80s which I think is interesting, I have tons of photos signed by actor Alex O'Loughlin (a few to me, most just his name) that I would consider selling one day and I have an REO Speedwagon album with booklet inside - with an 8x10 photo signed by the whole group. When I was younger I was never into autographs - thought I was too cool - ha ha - and so threw away a few that I had. Too bad. Anyway, now I am into Mark Lindsay.

Why do you collect?

That is a very interesting question and one that is hard to answer. I have collected various things in my life, from stamps and books to antiques, art and vintage dolls. I just got into collecting the autographed items around 2008, starting with my favorite actor, Alex O'Loughlin. Now I have moved on to Mark Lindsay.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

I have two 8x10 photos of Mark Lindsay signed personally to me, with "love, Mark Lindsay". A friend got them signed at the R&R show in LA in 9/13 and took pictures of Mark signing them and holding them up. I actually met Mark at a club in 1987 - again, back then I thought I was "too cool" for autographs, and people didn't carry cameras everywhere like they do now - so all I have of that is a great memory. Such a cool guy & an awesome talent at 71 (still handsome too...). His newest CD (Life Out Loud, 6/13) is awesome! Oh, yeah - that reminds me, I also have a bunch of his signed CDs.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?

Wow - living or dead? I guess Jesus would be a good one to have... Living, I'm going with Mark Lindsay these days.
