Here's what I came up with: Edgar was born on November 28th, 1888, in Connecticut. He first married at the age of 24. He and his wife had a son, Richard, who was born in 1917. In 1922, he married for the 2nd time. He and his new wife, Helen, had a little girl named Doris, born in 1923. By 1930, now 42 years old, Edgar was working as a commercial artist in the telephone industry. He died in May of 1978. He was 89 years old. _________________________ Need a Superman #9?

EJR EJR I am gonna miss that car. Registered: 04/11/05 Posts: 232 Loc: Torrance California	Jeff, thanks for the info on Edgar Church! Its a shame he never profited from his great collection! I am still stunned whenever I think about how cheaply his heirs sold his great collection! I sure wish we had pictures of exactly where he stored his great collection! Erik
