MY FAVORITE WEBSITES
Bernard & S. Dean Levy Galleries.
The Levys are the country's leading dealers in American antique furniture, a field that
has interested me for almost 50 years. There are three generations of Levys working at
their gallery!

E. Vogel Custom Boots and Shoes, Since 1879.
My good friend there, Jack Lynch, one of the Vogel family, knows just about all one can about custom-made shoes and boots and if you have never tried such an item you are in for a major treat. After the first pair you will consider it a necessity. Everything the Vogels make is done on the premises; very old-fashioned and most impressive.
Claves Regni - St. Peter's Church,
Nottingham, England.
Claves Regni is the name of the website of St. Peter's Church, Nottingham, England
where, on 24 January 1625 my ancestor, John Conckelyne
(1598-1684), married Elizabeth Allseabrook (1600-1671.) For me to be able to view
photographs and learn about the history of a church, still standing, and whose roots go
back to the 12th century is a bit overwhelming.

Grolier Club.
I am proud of being a member of The Grolier Club since 1991 and the new website
explains all about the country's oldest club devoted to book collecting and related
subjects. I have been a member of the Print Committee since 1997.

Pala International
Pala International is home to some of the planet’s finest gems, precious stones and mineral specimens.
This is the excellent website of Russ Behnke, an old friend and longtime mineral collector.
My good friends Richard and Robert Hauck have, with much volunteer help, created a
wonder in New Jersey. The Sterling Hill Mining Museum in Ogdensburg is, simply, a dazzling
place to visit and one can really go underground there. All the details are listed on
their website.

Camborne School of Mines Virtual Museum
An excellent website about the geology and mineralogy of Cornubian Orefield in Cornwall and Devon. All such websites should be like this.
