Dad would fill a bowl with water, soak the stamps until they floated
free,then lay them on a piece of wood by a window to dry in the hot San Diego

Wayne,
Very interesting perspective. I'm finishing 7 days in Yosemite NP today!
Many things to see and places to go! I did manage to make a little time to
