Norm and Betty would take their many antiques and set up at the Scott show in Columbus and the Springfield Antique show, where he made many friends and found many great buys. He loved antiques and surrounded his life with the history of our nation. There was always a garage sale he couldn't pass up. His most treasured collection was out back in his barn. You were a lucky one if you were invited in. He also loved the wildlife surrounding his yard. Always planting something for the benefit of his outdoor friends. Our dad never knew a stranger, always taking the time to let you know he was your friend. He would always welcome anyone into his home.
