Hi,
My name is Laura Bennett and I recently joined.  My mother was a longtime member of the Chicago collectors group and more recently was a member of this group when the two merged.  Her name was Dorothy Douglas and she had collected cards her entire life.  She was originally from Cincinnati and her great aunt worked at the American card company and would bring her cards.  When she retired she took it up again and had a large collection when she passed away last June.  I have subsequently inherited her collection.   I plan to keep some of it, but can't possibly keep all of them.  I joined to learn more about them.  I am retired from the mental health field and live in Denver.
