Margaret Weinand a resident of Quincy, Illinois, is married with 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Margaret and her husband Ron have an Antique Military Collectibles business and are well known in the Militaria collecting community. This is Margaret’s first effort at writing a Children’s book.
LTC (Ret) Thomas M. Johnson has been a serious collector for most of his life. During his childhood he was first a stamp collector and later a serious U.S. coin collector. During a four-year U.S. Army tour of duty in Munich, Germany during the early 1960’s, (then) Lieutenant Johnson discovered yet another very interesting hobby – the collecting of German edged weaponry. He has been an avid edged weapon collector ever since and has since authored a total of thirty-four reference books and numerous articles on the subject.
This publication represents his first collaboration on a children’s book. LTC Johnson is a native of Cleveland, Tennessee, and after retiring from the Army, presently resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
This collaboration came about after a cruise as the two couples sat at dinner. Col. Johnson mentioned that his next book was going to be about a little boy who didn’t want to get rid of his family’s Christmas tree. Margaret and Tom tossed ideas back and forth and, a couple months later, as they both recovered from surgeries, the book was born. Ideas were sent back and forth by email and after finding a great illustrator, Bill Beard, they both felt it was ready.visualizza meno
