| EDITION 563 - 04/08/2025 |
| This Saturday will be a workday at the library. |
| The St. Cloud Stamp Club is having a show on Saturday, April 26th at the St. Joseph American Legion. I was at the show last year and the members do a great job with a smaller show. I will include details on the show in next week's Nooze. |
| I hope to post what this month's program at the library this month in next week's Nooze. |
| I have been asked a few times to feature a First Day Cover. I really only show what I collect, but I am always willing to show other people's stamps or covers. Please contact me at pjflaherty58@gmail.com if you have something you want featured. I do have a few FDC's in my collection that tie into other areas that I collect. This week's cover is a FDC of the certified mail stamp #FA1. I do collect FA1 on cover. First Day Covers of FA1 are pretty common. This one is unaddressed, and the cachet designer is Fluegel. If I were to collect FDC's that is one of the cachet makers that I would seek out. They are always colorful, and I think well done. The enclosure with this was the receipt for the certified mail stamp and service. |
