He was also a member of the Brevard Woodworking Guild, a member of the Old Timer’s Club(have to had lived in Orlando 60 years), and was a member of the Shriners and Masons for 50 years.  Ray Kendrick visited him quite a bit over the years.  His wife said his only peculiarity was being a Collector of Exquisite Junk.  He was a dumpster diver and found collectors junk everywhere.  (Wait till my wife Bev sees this.  I’m not the only one around)
