I have been interested in local history, including that of the Lake Erie islands, since I was very young. I have a degree in Transportation from the University of Akron and have developed a keen interest in air, land, and sea transportation to, from, and on the islands. I also have long been interesteed in the lighthouses that dot the Lake Erie coast. It is a true blessing that I am able to combine these interests with my love of stamp collecting through the unique and beautiful stamps and covers of the RILP!
