"I guess I'm like everyone else outside the "group". I'm nobody."

Walter; Please realize that you have recently dropped in to say hello after hearing some gossip over the back yard fence (so to speak) among a bunch of vocal chippers. You're certainly not "nobody", but your voice will bear some meaningful weight if you became a club member and not remain "outside the group". We invite almost everyone to share in the joys of chip collecting.... and I've read a couple of sincere invitations for you to join CC & GTCC..... which is not mandatory.... but I would be among the first to welcome you. No one here knows too much about you.... or where you are coming from out of the blue. What do you collect?
