Hi, I live in Ottawa, Canada’s capital.  I first started to collect Bossons in 1982.  My first piece was the Syrian.  I loved their realism and it gave my husband, Gary, something to buy for those “special occasions”.  Over time I collected about 20 Bossons, thinking it was getting out of hand.  Little did I know!!!  We went to our first IBCS meeting in Oklahoma.  We have met the greatest people and have had the best of times.  My Bossons collection has turned into a “family affair” as, with Gary’s help, my 20 have matured into over 200 and counting!!  I have many favorite Bossons but I find that I now measure my collection by the great times I have attending the annual IBCS meeting, gathering long lasting memories with the IBCS family.
