Marvin W., Compiler. Bubie

Marvin Bubie was born and raised in the Capital District of New York, graduating from Averill Park High School and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a retiree from GE and has lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Virginia. In addition, he spent 18 months in Germany with the US Army and has returned to Europe many times visiting Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany. Over the years he has collected the seals from various cities, towns, counties, boroughs and villages in this county as well as those in Europe. Each seal is a mini-history lesson and a collection all relating to a common heritage tell of a reverence for that heritage. Marvin has three books – the first covering the Dutch heritage of New York’s Hudson River from Manhattan to Amsterdam, NY, the second illustrating municipal symbols along the Erie Canal and the third has seals from Maine to Georgia that celebrate participation in the American Revolution.
