EDITION 535 - 09/24/2024

This Saturday is what should be a fascinating program on the Japanese Internment Camps of World War Two. This will be presented by Bob Akaki. I have had the pleasure of meeting Bob a couple times when he has been up in Minnesota for the Minnesota Stamp EXPO. He lives in Nebraska and is graciously coming to give his presentation on the internment camps. Bob not only has a vast collection of the material to show us, but he has also written many articles on the subject. He has done a lot of research on the subject and has family history tied to the internment camps. This is not a presentation to miss.
Bob sent an email to Tim about his upcoming presentation. Here is part of that email. "Looking forward to my Sept 28 date with you all. I call my program "Amache Mail". It is postal history with a little social history and family history. I use the postal history to document what life was like in a Japanese American internment camp. I have given it to stamp collectors in Denver, Chicago and Lincoln, NE and to non-collectors in Granada, CO where Amache was located. This last was for a community open house hosted by the Denver U Archaeology Dept for their annual community open house to showcase their work at the site. It was attended by survivors, descendants, local people and other interested people. I have family and friends still in the Twin Cities (I grew up in Roseville and graduated from the U)."
My cover this week is a stampless folded letter sent from Indiana on May 22, 1858, to the German state of Saxony. Saxony was part of the German Confederation and issued its own stamps from 1850 through 1867. On January 1, 1868, the stamps of Saxony were superseded by those of the North German Confederation. It joined the German Empire in 1870. The stamps of the North German Confederation were replaced by those of the German Empire on January 1, 1872.
