Larry, the Collector

Larry was a "Collector" as evidenced here where I reveal two of his favored collections. 

He gathered 76 pocket knives, from his own and my father's collections over the years. 
Here are a couple knives I found after I photographed the above collection:

I teasingly called Larry "Six Eyes" when he would be wearing a pair of reading glasses, add another to improve visibility, and then add the spare glasses that hung around his neck so he could see better. I don't have a picture of that. But here we can see his collection of 43 pairs of reading glasses and sunglasses.
I discovered 2 more pair of glasses as I was cleaning out other cabinets.  I wish I knew the story behind each of them.

We can see that Larry always wore a pair of reading glasses around his neck, as he had on a pair. He's pictured here with his daughter Ruthie Jamison Brady.

  2. Randy is a bit jealous of Larry's knife collection. He wants to get more now. I am in trouble. Your Larry reminds me very much of my Randy. Thank you for sharing part of your love story here.
