I wish all my fellow collectors a happy, safe, fun, and above all, a healthy New Year.

As many of you know, I am on dialysis 4 days per week now, which really limits my activities and travel. I also had another heart attack in the latter part of last year which resulted in the 9th and 10th stents being placed in my heart. In spite of all this I feel good and here's why:

With all that going on, God blessed me with a new, beautiful lady in my life. We were engaged approx. one month ago and plan to get married sometime in the early part of this year. She is a caring, lovely, Christian lady who knows all about my health issues, my past (most of it ) and still loves me!

I will share a picture when we marry and add her to my membership as she is getting to know why so many of us are crazy about old casino chips!!

Happy New Year!!!!!

Rich
