Manitoba man builds 9,000-item Indiana Jones collection over 40 years
WINNIPEG -- A Manitoba man has been collecting Indiana Jones memorabilia for the past 40 years, amassing what may be the world's largest collection in honour of the fictional adventuring archeologist. When Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark was first advertised in 1981, Les David wasn’t interested in seeing it – not even a little. "I saw the commercials, and it's a World War 2 movie," said David. "And that's just not my genre. I'm not knocking it, but it's just not my thing." But he went to the movie as a favour to a friend. Two hours later, he said his jaw dropped.
