About me

Gender Male
Location Hillside, Montrose, Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction I am a keen collector and active in Scottish, British and North American stamp circles. I am a member of many philatelic groups and a former president of two of the Edinburgh philatelic societies. Here I am at the 2002 Scottish Stamp Congress in Perth with my display on D-Day that was one of the exhibits provided by the hosts, the Edinburgh Philatelic Society. My D-Day exhibit is inspired by my father's participation in the D-Day landing on 6 June, 1944, and the post he sent home. It used to be called "Two Junes in Normandy," as he also produced philatelic mementoes when he returned for the 50th anniversary. However I accompanied him to Normandy for the 60th anniversary and now the collection includes material from that trip as well. I am a journalist by profession and have been an editor on daily newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. I contribute to a variety of stamp and postcard magazines and have written a column on Commonwealth collecting for Canadian Stamp News for about 13 years.
