Hello, everyone!
I’m excited to become a member of TSF.
My name is Ian Hunter. I’m a recent graduate from the APS’s Young Philatelic Leaders Fellowship program. I have been collecting stamps seriously since 2010. My collecting interests include older U.S., with a focus on Washington/Franklins and postal history from my county.
I am an eBay dealer and the owner of the website Stamp Collecting Spot. I’m also starting a stamp club in my area since the nearest one is an hour and a half away. I’m excited to see how the whole experience will go, and hopefully I can get more people to take up stamp collecting and meet local collectors through the club as well.
Looking forward to my time here on TSF!
Ian

Currently I don't have permission to post there. Right you are, Ian. As it is a holiday weekend, it may take some time for your status to be upgraded by one of the staff. I will tag Steve Tomisek ( tomiseksj) on this post which may move things forward a bit more quickly. Anyway, I am looking forward to learning more about TSCS and all of your activities! |

,,,as soon as I'm upgraded to "Member" status. Currently I don't have permission to post there. Sorry for taking so long to upgrade your status -- I spent most of the day negotiating the highways of several states and didn't have internet connectivity.  p.s., Welcome to the forum! |

Sorry for taking so long to upgrade your status.... No, it's fine! I know what it's like being a forum admin. That didn't actually take very long.  Thanks for the welcome! |

Welcome to the forum, Ian. I understand the local stamp club problem as I live in Maine and there are but 4 clubs in the entire state. I applaud your efforts to get a club up and going in your area. In the meantime, hang out here!
(I often wonder why members of online communities such as TSF do not make better use of technology and initiate face to face (via cams and computers) interaction, but maybe that is "the next big thing." )
