Thanks, Fred. I am aware of his "conversion" and that Jeff is for limited
collecting for science - and that a recent NABA publication even has a
picture of Opler in it with a net in hand. Not knowing much about Jeff, I
was indeed under the impression that he had not collected at all after high
school type of thing. About how old was he when he gave up recreational
collecting - if you know? It might do well for all of us who do not have
all the facts to get a time line idea of this part of his life. I don't
even know how old he is now - 40 something I assume.
