In Memoriam and a Call to Action

December 25, 2009

The last few years have been witness to too many losses from our Society and the hobby. The lead article on this page is a memorial to Ralph Grumke, but the article is not entirely about our organization's great loss, but includes a call for recommittment to our hobby. The people we've lost in recent years were great leaders for the cause of postal history collecting, as well as being founding members of this Society.
