E.F. Higgins III (1949-2021)

It is my sad duty to let folks know that Ed Higgins of DooDa Postage Works has gone to the big perforator in the sky. His sister Ginny just called to let me know. 

Ed and I met in 1976 and proceeded to correspond almost every day for the next 10 years. We used to haggle over who was the king of artistamps, I said it was him and he argued it was me (lol). Now I can proclaim, it is true, Higgins was and still is the undisputed heavy weight champion of stamps!
