Rob Hoskins, a middle school science teacher from a small town outside of Lexington called Salyersville recently sent in pictures of his Stallone collection. I was impressed. My guess
is you will be as well.

Here's what Rob has to say about it:

I started collecting Stallone memorabilia when
I was 6, right after a trip to see the original Rocky with my mom. My eyes were opened to the power of chasing your dreams. My collection has grown for nearly 30 years now.

I always said that when I built a house someday I'd have the coolest basement on Earth.

My wife Molly is a fan as well (she'd have to
be to live here).

Back in my late teens and early 20's, my
love for the Rocky movies led me into the boxing ring as an amateur. I captured a
State Title here in Kentucky before retiring
due to a detached retina in my left eye.

As a teacher, I always try to impart the lessons to my students that "Rocky" taught me.....that hard work and a willingness to grab onto your dreams can take you places you never thought possible.

Again, let me say Thank You for your kind words.

My dream now is to get to meet THE MAN. Who knows,
maybe he'll see these and make it a reality!
