As for the hats, she is rarely
without one atop her head. She
says the only time she’ll be seen
without a hat are the two-three
days after having her hair done.
“And people notice,” Met-
lock said.
Metlock is not the only avid
collector among the residents at
Valley View.
Chuck Corwin’s collection
is also of the “attire” variety – a
dozen bolo ties.
A couple of them feature vin-

Both were handed down to Cor-

Two others have as their cen-

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.”

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.
Despite not being much of a
seamstress, she also has a collec-

She kept track of the date and
location for each one.
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

tors pages, and bound in about 15
albums.
Otho is current and active
with his hobby – the most recent
stamps are from 2015.

They have lived in Grant County
for most of their marriage.
The couple moved to Val-
ley View last October. Sammie
said cooking is the one thing she
misses living there.
As for all those blue ribbons,
Sammie returned those to the fair

she thought they could be reused

“I just liked getting the pretty
ribbons,” she said.
