I have collected stamps off and on for about 35 years. This sounds great to me. Many stamps and covers over the years have had tie ins to supposedly unrelated fields. As an aside, I also think it is amazing the prices that dealers get for that Sikhote-Alin stamp when someone could buy it

The NomCom was formed in 1973, with Ray Binns (chair), Roy Clarke, Glenn Huss, E. L. Krinov, and Robert Hutchison as charter members. These two spellings, Wolf Creek and Okechobee, were in use long before that. Basically, the Society decided to adopt the Catalogue of Meteorites, which in

Hi, Norm, List, I too thought of carnival glass. The process of carnival glass making goes back to the 1880's (at least). You sprinkle a fresh hot glass object straight from the mold or furnace with (powdered) slag containing a variety of mineral salts and stick it back in the furnace briefly
