As you can see I have a lot of fun as I travel around the world with the collection!

I have had the privilege to meet many interesting people. Of course I cannot stick a camera in everyone's face. How I wish I had taken photos of me with Sid Luft in his apartment or Mickey Deans while we had dinner in NYC, Debbie Reynolds backstage at Liza's concert at the Palace in NYC, Michael Feinstein in the men's room, Joely Fisher and Ricky Lake at the theatre or dinner following....among many others! Boy, what a life!
