Thank you to everyone who has visited 'Randy's Room" (attic) over the past 35 years and helped made this small room in this small town, such a special place. This is an edited 10 minute clip from the hour long, 6th episode of American Pickers that aired on the History Channel. I posted this clip to share with friends and family. The show came looking for Jim to buy antiques. In the process they bought a few nice items but also showed my wacky childhood bedroom that contained no antiques. I was proud of that fact ....... So on that note, I want to say "thank you" to my parents, Jim and Brenda who let me begin thumb tacking items to my bedroom ceiling as early as 2nd grade and kept it in its original condition long after I moved out. This ultimately became my personal outlet for creativity and most likely kept me out of trouble as a child. I never imagined the items I stuck to my walls would ever have monetary value; it was just zany childhood expression...... What is important to understand is that my parents let me do it. Now when I look at it, I really think it is ART. Not many people saw it that way then but I hope some do now....... I guess most importantly is that my father "Jim" is a really cool guy, just like I think the show portrayed him and I am proud of that........ Sincere thanks to John Burkert, Ronald Heist for making the suggestions for the American Pickers show to stop by......
