2003 Annual Board Meeting Committee Report
The Washington-Franklin Head Issues Committee has been at a low level of
activity for a couple of years during a period when the chairman and
some participants have been otherwise occupied. Activity is expected to
increase and articles are expected to be produced for submission for
publication in the Society's journal. Articles in the works include
several on essay-proofs of the series and early stamp designs used in
the development of rotary press printing. In addition, the committee
will be working on an article regarding watermarks that may present some
very new and interesting information on the subject. The committee is
meeting during the 2003 annual Society meeting at Chicagopex and expects
to hear short reports from several participants. The committee never
has had any "members," but it has had and continues to have many
"participants," generally 15 to 25 USSS members, involved in its
activities as appropriate to the subject of study. The committee has no
internal newsletters or regular publications; all products of the
committee are submitted for possible publication in The United States
Specialist.
