Surely a keeper Phil... the one that got you in all this trouble!
i have come half circle..i just won a cover with the 1936 sheetlet #778 Third International Philatelic Issue. And playing with the 7-1-71 covers...i am probably about 3 thousand short of completion. Cheers, phil
Phil:
A lovely cover and a really good keeper for your collection.

I still have the first stamp I put into my Ambassador album, a very common 80cts Spanish Franco. I never replaced it, even though I later got better examples.

As a A2C they used to call us Bus driver because of the uniform, especially when wearing the blues, but not the 505's.
i have been a stamp collector since age 9 when i was at a classmates home and saw his Junior Edition Scott International album with the colorful African colonial stamps. I knew nothing about covers until i was a long way from home in the Air Force and picked up a copy of the New York Herald Tribune..perhaps it was in the base library. The newspapers had stamp columns in those days..i suppose stamp collecting was pretty popular. Anyhew, i saw where i could send away for a first day cover, cool and still had time to send in an envelope and a dime to pay for two 4 cent stamps to pay the airmail rate. I did not even know to put a "filler" in the envelope so it arrived a bit ragged. But i have it still.
