Here we have four very enthusiastic guys who have been Yankee Polecat members and close friends for over 20 years.

From left to right:

***Jeff Kaminski of Erving, MA. Jeff is well known for his extensive multipart porcelain and Pyrex collections. For over the past year he has been highly specializing in spacer insulators (glass, porcelain, polymer and plastic). Right now he has about 70 different ones. Got any "different" spacers that he might be interested in? NJ is full of a lot of odd stuff he is seeking. BTW, Jeff is engaged and will be marrying this October. CONGRATS JEFF!

***Scott Ferreria of Raynham, MA. He has been part of our circle since 1990 and has had a lifelong interest in collecting insulators and street lights. He thought he was the only one who ever cared for these things until he spotted Jim Simpson (third from left) carrying around an insulator at the once-famed Norton (MA) Flea Market on a hot summer day in 1990. I also was there that day. The two struck up a conversation; I was quickly introduced.... and he has been among our "bunch" consistently ever since.

***Jim Simpson of Stoughton, MA. Jim's enthusiasm about insulators and just about anything old (no matter what it is!) is rather unmatched, to put it lightly! Jim loves Boston-area glass, as well as period furniture, old bottles, 60s-80s record albums...and the rest of this list is seemingly endless. GO JIMMY!

***And that's me, Joe Maurath, Jr. on the right. Of the group, I am the only one that is a member of ICON...or on-line for the present, just fyi.
