Re: Postage stamps
Its not a. Telegram Des , the ones that citizens of WA get is a proper letter ,with a gold embossed card with photo of course , with all the trimmings, something to leave the grandkids when doing their family trees in century’s to come. MY mother left a correspondence she had
with the Queen mother she had as was in service to her before she married King George 6th. However that was personal and not for the edification you could say for media skunks , so will all go together for family memories. I think even those in the US White House should put a guard on Churchill’s bust, nothing is sacred these days, JS....
