Welcoming Back Our Club Members
By the time you are reading this we will be into our fall season, and this year’s program
schedule looks to be a good mix of interesting and educational topics. On September
12, our opening night, we have Bob Markovits speaking on Carrier Stamps, (Scott No.
LO1–LO6), and Bob’s talks are always a treat.
We welcome back Bob Borden from Eastern Massachusetts on September 26. He will
entertain us with Cheap Covers from Exotic Places and also bring a bit of philatelic humor.
Summer Auction
Fort Orange joined in the fun at the Tri-Club summer picnic and auction on July 30.
There were about 100 lots with a wide range of material. Traveling some distance to join us
was Glenn Estus from the new North Country Stamp Club in Plattsburgh. However the prize
for traveling the furthest went to Vicki Miller’s niece, Becky, who joined us from Israel.
