I became a member of SOR about a month ago and felt I should introduce myself.
I picked up stamp collecting twenty years ago after a break from when I was a child. My main collecting areas are US, US Fancy Cancels, Postage Due, Auxiliary markings, fire related covers, fire insurance related, Philadelphia, Santa Claus post cards and philatelic literature and auction catalogs. I also have a Canada collection to 1994 and a WW collection that I don't spend much time with.
I am a member of the Greater Philadelphia Stamp and Collectors Club and also the treasurer. I am the Vice President of The US Cancellation Club. I have am a volunteer and Treasurer for The Philadelphia National Stamp Exhibition (formerly known as SEPAD). I belong to a few other clubs and societies.
