Strange Collections
Search the web for collectors of unusual things and write a short report about them. (More! 4, Exercise 8, p. 101)
I've found two different collectors of unusual things. Louise J. Greenfarb from the USA has a collection of 35,000 authentic fridge-magnets. She's been collecting them since the 1970s. Her first fridge-magnet was a present from her son. Everyone in the town of Henderson, Nevada know her as the 'magnet lady'. But a stranger collection is the one that belongs to Wong Ting Man from Hong Kong in China. No, he's not a fan of smartphones. He began collecting instant cameras in 1992. He's got 1042 different models which is not the biggest collection in the world but it's worth $130,000. When interviewed by the World Record Academy about what his family thought of his collection he said the following. My wife said: "if all your camera not keep in home, then everything is fine"... "She do support me to collect.", said Mr. Wong Ting Man.
