Corwin, almost 91, moved to Valley View last summer from northern California. He said he likes bolo ties because “it’s some- thing I don’t have to tie. They’re easier to wear.” %RWK 6DPPLH /DXUDQFH DQG her husband, Otho, have accu- mulated their own share of kin- dred keepsakes. Sammie actually has a few collections, including cook- books, thimbles and over 500 blue ribbons earned at Grant County fairs. Her specialties were canning and cooking, espe- cially pies – all kinds, but espe- cially peach, some of which went for pretty hefty prices. She said she usually “took the limit” when it came to fair entries. With her love of cooking, she also ended up with over 100 cookbooks – not really an inten- tional collection however, she said. She just enjoyed cooking, which she learned largely, she said, from Otho’s mother.

Otho’s collection – postage stamps – is rather impressive, and one he has been amassing most of his life. Sammie said he started at age 8, and except for those that pre- date his time, he bought most of them new, as they were issued. The stamps, dating as far back as 1847, are mounted in VSHFL¿FFRPPHPRUDWLYHFROOHF- tors pages, and bound in about 15 albums. Otho is current and active with his hobby – the most recent stamps are from 2015. 7KH /DXUDQFHV KDYH EHHQ PDUULHGDOPRVW\HDUV±DIWHU meeting on a blind date.
