       Basically, I'm an avid  bottle collector who enjoys researching the backgrounds of my bottles as much as the bottles themselves. Over the years, I have shared or contributed the results of my research to The Hobby in several ways, - either through newsletter articles, or magazine articles,  about The Hobby, or via an  infrequent newspaper interview. I did self-publish a book about Bristol's whiskey and medicinal bottles in 1995 and have toyed with the idea of  reprinting it with updated info and pictures. That is yet to be seen though.
    From 1991 to about mid-1997, I was a  "Reporter" for  Bottles & Extras  magazine,  ( even had a "Press Pass."...LOL),  being published by Scott Grandstaff and Kitty Roach in Happy Camp, CA. They were great people to work with and  great for The Hobby. They struggled with the magazine for some time, before turning it over to the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors organization - www.fohbc.com.  Since then I have written but a few articles for this version of the magazine, mainly due to time constraints and running out of material to write about.
    In 1998 & 1999, I additionally wrote a couple of articles for James Hagenbuch's magazine for The Hobby : Antique Bottle & Glass Collector,  www.glswrk-auction.com  , published in East Greenville, PA.  Jim's  a great fellow to know.
     I served as "The Digger" newsletter Editor for the East Tenn. Antique Bottle & Collectibles Society, based in Knoxville, for two years. Later, I served as President, Show Chairman, and "The Groundhog Gazette" newsletter Editor for the State of Franklin Antique Bottle &  Collectibles Association.  I quit both groups, as I just didn't have the time , or inclination, anymore to participate on a regular basis.
    I will list my articles and which issue/when written for your perusal...
