Sorry for dup's - some of us are on more than one list. =20 ~gina thomas patterson~ I am the Service Chair for my genealogy society. Saw in a June/Jul Everton=20 Gen Helper about this project and pursued it as one of our projects. This is= =20 the latest Earlene Flemming works with the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee. She said=20 that a stamp honoring genealogy is "under consideration". This means that th= e=20 first rung on the ladder has been reached. But this also means that it could= =20 be a few more years down the road before a stamp is struck... or it could be= =20 next year. She doesn't know and won't know until a committee meets and=20 decides. No particular stamp has been developed and one won't be until the=20 final aproval comes in from that committee. Then the Postal System will=20 contract someone to develop a stamp and what year it will be issued. What is= =20 needed right now is a showing of support from all of us interested in=20 genealogy and who would like to see a stamp honoring our fabulous hobby. We=20 need to write "lots and lots of letters". Mrs Flemming said it is better to=20 wirte INDIVIDUALLY to her office not as an organization and let her know tha= t=20 you would like to see such a stamp issued.
