Greetings:

Is there anyone else out there on Mudcat who collects postal history? Please give me a holler.

My collection of United States Third Class Mail: The First 100 Years, 1863-1963 was just accepted as a competitive exhibit at the Washington 2006 World Philatelic Exhibition which will take place next spring. Fewer than half of the exhibits that applied for the open competition were accepted, so this is a very big deal. As they say in baseball, I am honored just to be in the Big Show.
