Being a very touristic region, the Thousand Islands has a number of magazines, newsletters, brochures, etc. One of these is the digital magazine called Thousand Islands Life, which features local authors and local history. This month's issue has a a four part article, three parts of which are about Thousand Islands-related philately. thousandislandslife.com/more-than-a-stamp-on-an-envelope/Enjoy! Dan |

What a fun read; thanks for sharing Dan ( gatodiablo)!
After reading the article, I am curious who the young lad was that was fortunate enough to purchase the thirty Seaway inverts, "...reports the consensus story of a young office boy from Winnipeg’s Marlborough Hotel, who purchased the first 30 inverts from an Eaton’s store on August 2, 1959"
Lucky lad... :-)
Happy collecting!
