13. Thank you too much.

I've spent over 50 years accumulating knowledge about pretty much everything, most of which turns out to be utterly worthless, but at least I was able to solve your post almost immediately (probably would have been reply #1 if I wasn't such a slow typist).

OK, here's a similar bit of trivia for you (no Google or other cheating): There's a real occupation known as a "flue voicer."

What does a "flue voicer" do?

11. FDR

Of course one of the most famous stamp collectors was FDR - I'm trying to remember is they have some of his collection at his home in Hyde Park (its been awhile since I've been there).

I'll rise to the occasion! :wow:

14. Not one myself, but I used to have a huge stash (RMs in the CG handle

all the postal affairs) ... Running the post office on ships in the Antarctic, 30% of my work was handling requests for covers, FDOI thingies, and other related stuff.

Edit: Well, of course I'm not a "society" - {random thought}

17. I worked in a stamp shop once

I had to shut it down, though. It turned out that philately got me nowhere.
