Thank you for joining me today!  Join me tomorrow as we kick-off the month of June; the World Stamp Show continues through June 04, which is a once-a-decade-event.  The last international stamp show held in the U.S. was sixty years ago!  I’m looking forward to receiving these new stamps to use with my hand written letters.

Anchors Aweigh,  

Helen
