Van,
Who shold we write to...I think someone should make up a template letter to sign, it would make it cleaner to send and it would show that there are a group of people who are very intrested in this stamp. Just an idea.

Our good Friend Frank in Scotland inspired this effort by his
personally submitting a stamp request to the Postal authorities
in Washington. We THANK YOU FRANK!
Individuak followup letters would help to influence
Postal Authority waiver of usual 3 year advance time for issuance
of commemorative stamps. Please write, everyone!
Sincerely Van
