If you’re not a member of the AMFF [American Museum of Fly Fishing]…

Post by Mike N »

…you missed this brilliant article and the donor’s separate essay about how his collecting started with an uncle who introduced him to….wait for it… stamp collecting. I love it. I remember reading an article in perhaps a Phi Beta Kappa offshoot journal years ago about how more members of Mensa collect stamps and play chess and Go than any other pursuit.

Our own Jim Schottenham, former ORCA president and Honorary Life Member of ORCA, is the new AMFF curator.

Think about honoring Jim by becoming a member of the American Museum of Fly Fishing. Here’s a link…

Interesting post. I note the book "Angling Books -A Guide for Collectors" is available still on the new and used market for a still reasonable price. That would be good to pick up.
