Strangly, this is true, there is no US meteorite stamp, yet. While the US postal service has made tons of space stamps for every and everything it has totally ignored meteorites. With a little encouragement from us however, this could change. At the post office the other day I filled out a comment form, just ask and they will give you one. On it suggested they create a meteorite stamp, I suggested the Williamette but I think a Tuscon Ring one would be nice. A set would even be cooler but thats probley overshooting. SO I am asking everyone that the next time they go and do mail to fill out a comment form suggesting the like. Maybe if enough of us let them know we are interested they will make one. They do read the comments and suggestions have resulted in stamps before. A meteorite postal stamp could help introduce meteorites to millions of people and therefore lead in the long run to more finds, ect. Thanks, Mark Bostick PS:I was also told I could submit the form with a painting or like. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Received on Sat 31 Aug 2002 01:35:24 AM PDT |
