Born in St. Louis in 1898, Bob was 6 in 1904 and has fond memories of the wonders of the Fair. Bob has accumulated a great deal of experience and a vast collection in his many years of collecting. He has used his special insights to develop a unique numbering system (67 specific categories) which is accepted as the standard for the hobby. Beginning this project when he was 93, Bob took less than 3 years to photograph, describe and organize thousands of souvenirs.
