Hello everyone--
My name is Bob Stewart, and I just joined the Stamp Forum. I was introduced to this group by Theresa Young aka philatelia. We know each other from Stamporama.
I am a 25+ year member of the APS, and am a member of the Central Florida Stamp Club, the American Helvetia Philatelic Society, and the Eire Philatelic Association.
My collecting interests are eclectic, but span 32 countries mostly in Western Europe. I just recently added Trinidad & Tobago to my collecting interests.
Switzerland is my favorite and largest collection.
I like to buy MNH and trade used/MNH.
I live on the east side of Orlando south of UCF and I work as an accountant for Verizon based out of the Lake Mary office, but I am working from home at present. I am off today, probably working on my collection.
I look forward to contributing here on The Stamp Forum.

Welcome Bob, from another Stamporama membre. Currently, my main interest is on Switzerland used stamp; but like you, I actually collect most of Western Europe (plus Estonia). I'm based in Barcelona, Catalonia (SW Europe). I'm also new here and I'm sure that very soon you'll find at home at STF and enjoy the fòrum.

Bob is here! Yay! You’re going to love this group — smaller and cozier than Stamporama- with the same level of expertise minus all the posts about the sales section. Both are good groups though, but this feels like “home.”
