Postal History Special Mailing for the 50th Anniversary of the first man in space

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Well, given that our Valentine's Day Special Mailing has been such a success, it's perhaps time to think about the next Special Mailing.

The theme for this one has been suggested by Valentin Dolgov, and will commemorate Yuri Gagarin becoming the first man in space on 12 April, 1961.

The Mailing could celebrate any and all space achievements since then, with, of couurse, an emphasis on postal history.

PLEASE JOIN THE MAILING.

I'm willing to coordinate the mailing list again.

So far we have 2 participants (both called Valentin[e], but to be so called is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to join in) as follows:

 

1. Valentin Dolgov, PO Box 5308, Tomsk, Russia 634057

2. Valentine Herman, 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France

STARSHIP, ENTERPRISE CALLING ALL MAIL ARTISTS

Space: the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Postal History Boutique
Its 5 year mission
To explore strange new artistic worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no Mail Artist has gone before

Gugarin and sausages -- Is that the one you're referring to? "A small step for man, but a great leap for sausage makers", no less. Regards, Val

Reporting in that another piece of mail has landed at the site of  the Apollo 2 Commander

and that being from Tactical and Strategic Officer Mim!  Thank you!  

Four more to go !  And those will join the rest in my record ... picturing just the 

cover for now (extras inside and out) until the book is complete.

[Mim Golub Scalin]

Your card arrived from Mission Control, Val. Funny, but the handwriting is the same as that on the address that came with no mail art attached to it. Hmmm very interesting.

[Nikki Soppelsa]

mail today from Valentin in Russia and also from MyLifeAsCollage  ... !  

 

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Oh, good news...sighting of spacecraft from Valentin and ..Collage! Thanks, Nikki for the update. Perhaps in Monday's delivery...(if there is a mail delivery on Monday)...perhaps something will land at the GrecoSpace Center? Here's hoping!

[Mim Golub Scalin]

I love your book Nikki. So far, I've received mail from: VMH, Diane, Katerina, Nikki, David, Carla, Marcia, Louise, and today's mail included this piece. But I'm not sure of the sender. Anyone?

[Nikki Soppelsa]

I thought this was from Valentin!  Well then....thank you Steve ... from Gr. Britain!  Well, done!;-))

[Steve]

This one is me. Sorry folks I forgot to say on the cover

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

The one without a return address is from Steve and the other card from Mim. Two great space ship-art landed safely at GrecoSpace Center today! Many thanks! And now the final two are still in orbit but should be arriving any day now?
