Henry B. Scheuer’s article titled “Kansas-Nebraska Overprint Stamps: Why, Where, and When They Were Initially Sold” was selected as the 2016 winner of the United States Stamp Society/Barbara R. Mueller Award for the best article published in a single year of The American Philatelist. The award will be presented at the APS StampShow Celebration Banquet 2017 on August 5 in Richmond, Virginia.
More on the award and the article can be found on the APS website.
Several years ago my stamp club in Cooperstown,NY received a reequest from you expressing interest in several categories of FDC’s. I immediately remembered a small group of 8 covers sent to Angola. Unfortunately they were lost in a disorderly part of my accumulation. They recently surfaced and I had saved your info. They are not all run of the mill commems. For instance there is a registered cover with the $1 Wilson reissue of 8/31/54. Unfortunately they had been glued to a scrapbook by the original owner and there are glue stains on the backs, though the receiving marks are generally legible. If you are still interested in this area, let me know and I can send a scan.
Peter, to whom is this addressed? Henry? If so, I’ll forward it. The original article four years ago was about Henry Scheuer, not by him.

Thank you very much for thinking of me.
I hope that you are well and continue to enjoy this wonderful hobby.
