Collector's Pins

A partial view of the full collection.

This pin collection began in 1981 on a skiing trip to Utah. The next trip took us to Innsbruck, Austria, and then to England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Russia, China, and Japan. It never seems to stop. Each destination required a little memento; then it became necessary to have a little pin from wherever we went.

So now we can say "I went there." Otherwise, no one believes you until you show them your shiny little pin. Besides, they're fun to look at.
The number of pins in this collection is now in the 500+ range. My two favorites are the Monterey Bay Aquarium pin and the Hawaiian Postage Stamp pin.
