| EDITION 505 - 02/27/2024 |
| The board meeting is this Saturday. |
| The March presentation will be on Fakes and Forgeries by Bruce Johnson on the 23rd. |
| There has been talk about having more workshops at the library in addition to the fascinating presentations we have been enjoying. These would not have to be on Saturday's but could be on a weekday during the daytime. With the passing of Al, the Stamp Academy is not what it was. I have been covering Wednesday's along with Jerry since Al's passing. One option is to try a couple workshops on a couple Wednesday's. I think between Jerry and I we could come up with a few topics. If there is a positive response, we could either designate a day each month or the day could float based upon presenter's schedules. We would like everyone's input into this before we come up with a plan. Please let me know what you think of this, and it will be discussed at the next board meeting. I am at pjflaherty58@gmail.com. |
| The Minnesota Postal History society is scheduled to resume meetings this month. What I have so far is conflicting information as the library is already booked on the Fourth Tuesday. This will be updated as soon as a new date is chosen. |
| At the recent SNOWPEX show I was able to purchase a large collection of auxiliary markings covers. This was a bit different from the usual auxiliary markings that I come across. It was heavy in crash covers and some unique usages that I was not familiar with. I have decided to show a few that I found interesting. |
