Amazing at it seems, it has been a full 10 years since the USSS’s Dummy Stamps Study Group published their first newsletter – Dummy News &Views. It has totally been a labor of love for me and the numerous other contributors of this newsletter. Those of you who have followed it since it’s inception know that it has very rarely been published on time. Even though it’s a quarterly newsletter, too many times that has not happened. No excuses as it lies entirely with me and my desire (or lack of) to work on them. It has actually been a very wonderful time in my life being able to share one of my loves – test stamps. Without the help of several fellow Dummy Stamps Study Group members, notably Mike Perry and Joann Lenz, a lot of this would have not been possible. I wish them to stand up and take a bow.
