Avid collector of history and popular culture with a special interest on social movements and change so my collection includes thousands of …Pinback Buttons, Rare Books, Posters and Flyers, and a little bit of everything else. What really gets my interest? Candidates that were the first, trailblazers in civil rights and civil liberties. Unions, Freedom Riders and Nuns on the Bus! But honestly I respect everyone and love our history no matter what side you find yourself on.
My Showcase is named Cousin Clyde’s Closet after a dear friend of mine who unfortunately is no longer with us. He was an amazing gentleman of the Louisiana seer sucker variety, I often describe him as a cross between Truman Capote and Quinten Crisp. Clyde was a collector of characters from those in politics, to the high society on down to the fellow down on his luck. I am proud to say I was one of his collection.
