Welcome
If you're here, you obviously want to know a little more about me. Too bad... I
don't give out much on the net :o)~ BUT if you get to know me, over time, I'll
tell ya what ya need to know.
What little I will give out is this: I collect coins. I have for a little
over 12 years. If you have any questions about coins or if you want to sell
your accumulation, write me and we'll talk.
I do a little gold mining in the summer and I'm a bit of a rock hound.
I first heard of Where's George through one of the email lists I was on, however I had way too much going on then to begin another "Project".
A few months later I happened to find a $5 bill in my till at work with the
'Where's George' address stamped on it. Curiosity got the best of me so I took
it home and I've been hooked ever since. The bill I found happened to belong to Tim
from Seattle, so now whenever someone asks me how I got started, I can blame
it all on him...LOL.
In the 6+ years that I've been an addict.....err....member of WG, I've had
the pleasure of meeting many of the top members from around the West Coast. I
must say we are about as diverse a group as you could get, but I have yet to
meet someone I didn't like. They've all been a great bunch of people.
If you are reading this because you found one of my bills, THANK YOU!.
I hope you take the time and look around the site a bit. Once you get to
know us, you'll find that we're not such a bad bunch (although we do have a
few nut's just like any family..lol).
My bill's have been on every continent including Antarctica, I have 50 state bingo 4 times over, my bill's have been found in almost every western country in Europe, most of Asia and so on and so on.....
So thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of my profile ;o)

| 50 State
Bingo |
50 State bingo is where you try to get a hit in each state in the US. This
is harder than it sounds because some states have fairly low populations.
The bill's linked here will change every so often so keep checking back.
