My life experiences are as much an eclectic mix as are the products I offer for sale. That helps to keep my life interesting.  Besides selling on eBay I write poetry, short stories and liturgies someday I plan on writing the great American novel.  I am a choir director, the Minister of Celebration at my church, love to read and try to have a little fun every day.  I am frequently asked where my eBay id came from - well I love the color purple and I work as a volunteer and serve on the Board of Directors for a non-profit charitable organization called the Imperial Court.  At the time I started my eBay business I held the title of Baron in the Court (I have since been elevated to the title of Magnificent Silver Gryphon Imperial Grand Duke for Life to the 32nd and 33rd Reigns - boy is that a mouthful!), so I put the two together and voila lebaronpurple.  Since my real name has a French origin the eBay id seemed to be a perfect match even though my name (Roi) in French translates king I thought that using Baron would be a little less pretentious.  Other names I answer to are: Gravyboat, Grandpa and Papa.  Like most people I have made some mistakes in my life but I endeavor to do all the good I can and bring as much laughter, singing and dancing into the world as I can.  Once again, thank you for buying from lebaronpurple and shopping in my store, The Barony.
