Antiques play
a special role in Ron and Sally Greve's holiday
season celebration. The Watertown couple enjoy searching for all types of
antiques but have found a special interest in antique Christmas decorations.
The Greves have been collecting antique tree ornaments for the
past 45 years, all but the first five years of their married life. Ron said
he's not sure exactly how many antique ornaments they own but estimates it's
near 500.
