Just saying hello. Recently retired history teacher, lawyer, veteran and now stamp collector. Inherited a collection of US stamps and thought this might be fun in between writing.
Have more questions than stamps I think, but am willing to be a pain in the ass and learn.
Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to immersing myself in this.

Pockets,
hopefully the questions diminish as the stamps increase
actually, questions will never diminish; they will, in fact, increase as you learn more, you learn how much more there is to learn

Hello Pockets;
Hi from the North woods of Michigan.
When I was in middle school, my Geography teacher was Mr. Becker. He was a stamp collector and vest pocket dealer. He would bring small approval books to school to show the students and sell them stamps for a few pennies each.
I took a large interest and was an excellent student. I could name and give the general location of every major lake, river, bay, sea, island nations, and other geographic features on the entire globe. I also was a junior collector by that age, and caught the interest of Mr. Becker. He was my home room teacher also. He gave me one of his cherished childhood albums, which I still have to this day.
So many an afternoon was spent after school and he would teach me stuff about stamps and geography. What a great way to be mentored by a great teacher. It was obvious that he was very passionate about learning and teaching.
Do you have any similar experiences with some of your students?
Still sortin'....
