      From: leecoke@charter.net              > 1) What was the first autograph that attracted you to the hobby?        It was G. Gordon Libby. Soon after I started working at a bookstore       he came in and signed copies of one of his books. He came up and introduced       himself and asked if I wanted a signed book. I got one and then found a       fellow bookseller that was a collector - once he showed me his collection, I       was hooked.              > 2) How many items are in your collection?        About 200 signed books and then around 400 other items.              > 3) What would you say is your prized autographed item(s)?        My favorite is a book signed by Robert Heinlein, my all time       favorite author. The one I had the most fun getting - a FDC signed by John       Glenn, Alan Shepard, Harrison Schmitt, James Lovell, Gordon Cooper. Gregori       Grechko (all in persons at different events).              > 4) Who is someone living, that has so far eluded you, that would like to       > add to your collection?        I love aviation and space stuff, so definitely Neil Armstrong.              > 5) Among celebrities or people of fame that have passed, who do you regret       > not adding to your collection?        Jimmy Stewart. Saw him at an event when I was a teenager, but didn't       want to wait in line for an autograph.              > 6) What historical signature would you like in your collection?        Probably my namesake - Robert E.
