Uncle Jim collected stamps. In his basement he had trash bags full of international stamps, I mean maybe 12 packed to the brim - all interesting to look at and beautiful. The few times in my life when I saw him he gave me a small bag and allowed me to fill it with stamp for my own. I spent many hours looking at those stamps and dreaming. Seeing them inspired me to look at maps and then to find out more about certain countries, and then the world.
