Why do you collect?

I was a Navy brat and wasn't able to accumulate much when I was a kid because we moved around so much (30+ places or so). Never had a lot of money to spend but have been VERY lucky over the years and have put my collections together on shoestrings over long periods. They give me a sense of being grounded and connected more than any physical location ever can.

What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

Dwight Frye signature with other cast members of a 1923 play he had a major role in, RITA COVENTRY. Authenticated by Dwight D. Frye (Jr.) and Forry Ackerman.

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

Laurel & Hardy -- or John Wayne
