I too am a collector of Bermuda, although perhaps not as serious as your Mr Stephens. In any case I consider you to be a very lucky duck.
I have been a member of the Stamptrotters of the Hudson Valley and the APS since 1973. Imagine some of the interesting and generous people i have met in that time.In my opinion one of the finest folks was Donald E. Stephens a serious collector of Bermuda postcards and stamps. Don visited Bermuda 30 times for pleasure and research. Somehow Don came upon some photos of Bermuda taken with a box camera by an early tourist in 1889. In 1993 Don published "Holiday in Bermuda 1889" . A total of 2,000 copies were printed and Don offered a copy gratis to the then members of the Stamptrotters. I was one of those fortunate members with copy #1,634.
