Bob Berry Biography

 

I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania and have lived in Texas for the last 23 years and in upstate New York before that. I started collecting insulators over forty years ago and am somewhat of a general collector with special interest in threaded glass CD's (worldwide) and colored porcelain.  I've been the webmaster for www.nia.org since its creation in 1998 and have taken over U number assignments for porcelain uniparts from outside the US as well as working with Dario Dimare on Glass CD assignments outside North America. My wife Carolyn and I are members of the Lone Star Insulator Club and host a yearly back yard swap meet.  In 2006 along with Jim Bates and Jack Roach we hosted the NIA National show in Austin.
