You might think of it as a nuisance or you could think of it as a collection, which is the way Charlie Fouts chooses to look at things. One day he built a shelf. Of course, he had to have things to put on that shelf and that lead to...well...a collection, which Rob Wilds traveled to Woodbury to see...
