Mr. Cheeseman started
collecting butterflies about 28 years ago. He lived
in Bloomington, Minn. and was in charge of a bird
sanctuary at his kids' school. He met John Beurie,
of Cedar, Minn. who raised exotic ducks and geese
and went to see him about purchasing a few of his
ducks for the sanctuary. John was also a butterfly
collector and dealer. He had a collection that was
stunning. He asked how to mount them and John gave
him some lessons and a few butterflies and he was
hooked.
After a few months he had a
pretty good collection and friends and relatives
started asking him to make some frames for them.
Fred soon found himself making them to sell. He
sold them in art and crafts shows and did pretty
good for a sideline business. Fred also found that
he could buy the butterflies a lot cheaper if he
bought them from the collectors in their various
countries. After a divorce, he remarried and moved
to Florida. 13 years passed. Then one day about 3
months ago his wife mentioned that while he was
retired maybe he should try to sell butterflies on
E-bay.
