My sincere thanks goes out to Sir Rod.I was busy with job last Thursday and missed Mommy day.Today on my visit Mom was bubbling over announcing a package of stamps had arrived and she mounted them and put them in her books.She then showed me the return address and it was none other than our own Rod,You my friend made a ninety five year old act like an eight year old.Of those you sent she had only five dups so really good work.I believe she rivals most w/w collectors by numbers.Her country books number over 125 and conservatively 200 per(some more)Then her U.S. stuff which she started at age eight.I can't thank you enough for the joy you spread.

Again I am humbled by the generosity of another member who sent some wonderful stamps to my Mom.I spent some time helping her catalog them after mowing her lawns,She was very excited and looks forward to mounting them tomorrow.I wish she was still capable of penning her own little cards she used to send she really had great penmanship and gift of words.Sadly her aged hands no longer do that so I extend her gratitude to you fr.Bud.She says to tell you that she will say a prayer of thanks for the wonderful things bestowed on her.Mom still makes church every week even bakes a bit for snacks at service.My Mom is truly a throwback to a time different than that we know.THANK YOU SIR !!

Thanks Froggie, you are a gentleman, and may I say you are uniquely fortunate, to have a Mom that collects stamps, I find that extraordinarily cool.
You are an inspiration yourself.
