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

[Nikki Soppelsa]

and a great many children must have been too...the inside of this book is disgusting except for the purrfectly delightful illustrations !

This space mission doesn't appear to be over with yet!  Waiting for mail within and outside

of the U.S.

Hoping everyone has gotten mine by now. ...over and out(side)

Still some in orbit, Nikki. Yours has landed safely long time ago...thank you!

GrecoSpace Center awaits last two: Valentin in Russia and Laurence in UK.

Valentin's great art has landed at Georgia's in Thess Center, but no mail delivery in Harilaou here ;-(

Then there is always tomorrow! ;-)

i hope your card from me arrives soon - sent it off the day of the anniversary.

sorry to keep you waiting!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Space card from Laurence has arrived at GrecoSpace Center on Royal Wedding Day! Now waiting ony for one last one, and that is from Valentin in Russia! One day next week perhaps?

(This might be up on the wrong side? Maybe it should be horizontal?)

[Nikki Soppelsa]

hmmmm...nothing here from Valentin, Laurence ... and some someONE in the U.S.

[Nikki Soppelsa]

No mail from Valentin in Russia and Laurence in England...??

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Hi! I got something from Russian Valentin, but NOTHING from English Laurence -- which is strange, because he's very conscientious about sending out stuff.

Laurence -- if ou're reading this, did you mail out a space piece?

Regards, Val

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

I never received a space card for our originator: Valentin in Russia . Somewhere

lost-in-the-mail!

And, if you don't have a card from Laurence, you can copy and print out the one above

that I posted, as Laurence is too ill to send out any more.
