Sunday Stamps: Famous People

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a lovely Fall morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

Our theme today is famous or accomplished people.  Although the US Postal Service has a recent stamp of George Washington, I am going to share a different stamp.

This is Fred Rogers (with King Friday), host of a well-known children's TV show in the USA.  In each episode he would greet us in his home and later go to the land of make-believe.  His was a reassuring voice for many children.  By the time we got cable TV when I was a child, I was a bit too old for this show.  I came to appreciate it later.  His was a message of kindness and love thy neighbor.

Sunday Stamps: Places of Learning

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cooler day in the American Midwest.  Could fall finally be here?

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is places of learning.

My stamp, from the USPS, is a little different.  It celebrates 150 years of the US Coast Guard Academy by featuring 2 teaching vessels on it.

The top ship is the Barque Eagle, and the bottom ship is the USCGC Bertholf.  More at this link.  I guess there is training on a classic sailing ship, and a modern cutter for the students.
