at the empty lot last year. The result is
an eerie simulated “double exposure”
in which Judy appears to be hiding behind
a post at the lodge.
Here was the former site of the
Grandview Post Office and the end of
the journey of discovery − but not the
end of a personal journey that included
new friends, family sharing, postal
history, and a strong sense of accomplishment.
I’ve also found my favorite spot at
the Grand Canyon − the “grand view:
that Grandview guests enjoyed over a
century ago, shown in Figure 11. It’s
not among the sunburned tourists teetering
on the canyon rim, but back in the forest with stories of past adventure and
memories forever.
America in 2019 celebrates the centennial of Grand Canyon National Park. Plan
a visit and find your favorite spot.

As part of a five year programme
to commemorate the centenary
of the First World War, we unearthed
a wealth of information about the
many men and women of the Bialiwick
who stepped forward to serve for King and Country.
A memorial in its own right, this souvenir folder lists
the 1,500 brave individuals who fell during the conflict,
along with the five stamp sets issued in this series.
