This thesis was done by a friend and fellow collector in TX for his degree. This thesis touches on some very special attributes, reasoning, etc, etc. of collectors, the types of collectors, mindset, desires,why take "risks", sometime neglect family and duties, legacy, etc. I would love a discussion on some of the points he makes, especially the TERROR that may happen when one loses their collection or ability to collect because we identify with it so much. All of you will gain some insight that you might not have thought about regarding our hobby, MY hobby.
It's from Ray Gathright and he said we can share it, so I am. Thought provoking!:headbang::thumbsup:

I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Ray, his best friend Lewis, and couple other of their friends. We were sifting points out of one of their favorite lakes a few years ago. Ray found a super piece...... I think he was testing for school back then too.

GREAT PEOPLE, I've read plenty of Lewis's writings, and I am looking forward to reading Ray's thoughts knowing who has influenced him.
