Luminescent Study Group (June 2001)

I'm happy to report at this time that Rob Loeffler has joined the USSS Luminescence Study Group. He has been an avid collector of Luminescent stamps for many years, and brings along a wealth of knowledge. Rob will be contributing articles to The U.S. Specialist as his time permits.

Rob has been researching Scott 2149 and 2149a, the 18¢ Washington Monument coil stamps, and has uncovered new information about their tagging which he will be reporting on shortly. I'll let him give you the details in his U.S. Specialist article.

I personally have been busy for the past two months working on installing my new computer desk top publishing setup. Due to a number of unforeseen problems (read crashes), I haven't been able to contribute any articles to The Specialist. I expect to complete my new computer setup and learning process within a month; and I'll then be able to do what I enjoy most which is writing about Luminescent stamps.
