I am the Service Chair for my genealogy society. Saw in a June/Jul Everton=20
Gen Helper about this project and pursued it as one of our projects. This is=
=20
the latest
Earlene Flemming works with the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee. She said=20
that a stamp honoring genealogy is "under consideration". This means that th=
e=20
first rung on the ladder has been reached. But this also means that it could=
=20
be a few more years down the road before a stamp is struck... or it could be=
=20
next year. She doesn't know and won't know until a committee meets and=20
decides. No particular stamp has been developed and one won't be until the=20
final aproval comes in from that committee. Then the Postal System will=20
contract someone to develop a stamp and what year it will be issued. What is=
=20
needed right now is a showing of support from all of us interested in=20
genealogy and who would like to see a stamp honoring our fabulous hobby. We=20
need to write "lots and lots of letters". Mrs Flemming said it is better to=20
wirte INDIVIDUALLY to her office not as an organization and let her know tha=
t=20
you would like to see such a stamp issued.
Here's the address:
Earlene Flemming
Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee
US Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza SW Room 5670
Washington, DC 20260-2437
I am emailing this to the lists that I am on so if you get a dupe....sorry./=
