Christmas
A brief look at some of the topics that can be found in a Christmas topical/thematic collection. The pages in no way form a complete exhibit of each topic. These pages were mounted at my local club during a December meeting. (by Frederick Skvara - AgathaWatson)
The Guadalcanal Campaign of World War II: 7 August 1942 – 9 February 1943
I showed this exhibit at Westpex 2018, the annual show of the Westfield Stamp Club in Westfield, New Jersey. The theme of our show that year was the 75th anniversary of the Guadalcanal Campaign and Victory and John Basilone. John Basilone, a local hero who was raised in the central town of Raritan, New Jersey, was the only enlisted marine to be awarded both the Medal of Honor (for his actions on Guadalcanal) and the Navy Cross (for his actions on Iwo Jima where he was killed).

A grisly but fascinating look at airmail crash covers. When things go horribly wrong! This is just the beginnings of an exhibit. The author would be happy to hear from anyone who can offer additions. (by Roy Lingen - roy)
Odd Shaped Stamps
David started collecting "odd" shaped stamps around the same time he joined Stamporama, in Oct.1999. At that time he thought a triangular stamp was an odd shape. In his words, "Boy, did I have a lot to learn!". He lives in the Great White North (Canada) and his philatelic friends began to call him "The Odd Canuck"! One page also shows his topical interests of Buses, Motorcycles and Domestic Cats. David is hoping that this display of his interests will encourage other Stamporama members to contact him for trading. (by David Greg - october)

I was blessed with the opportunity to create my first Exhibit on Nova Scotia stamps for our local Stamp Show for October 13th, 2001. This was such a wonderful experience, I would like to share it with you. (by Kelly Fleming - stamps4me)
