The eUSC Historical Documents

These comprise:

• Stamps of eUSC Presidents printed by the eUSC and released in the early 2000s.
• Covers with these stamps affixed
• Other stamps released by eUSC members to commemorate other eUSC members or events or accomplishments, in the time period of the unthreaded eBay Stamps category chatboard

In 2014-2015, the history of the eUSC was researched and put together. An online version currently resides on my website at www.sheryll.net

 (scroll to bottom of homepage or click on http://www.sheryll.net/eUSC/eUSC.htm)

They were written up and displayed as a one-frame “Free Style” non-competitive exhibit at NTSS 2015, held in Portland, OR in July 2015.

The online history has been sporadically updated since then (meeting topics and the “Where are they now?” section.

2021 and beyond

I can no longer rely on my website being around in the next year, since my move to SoCal.

Also, my Parkinson’s is now affecting my public life (“on” and “off” times still unpredictable).

The upcoming San DIego Stamp Show (8-10 October) could provide a way to transport the originals of the documents out of SoCal to ….. Ohio? Central Oregon? The East Coast?? I will be there sometime Saturday and Sunday, all being well.

Please feel free to discuss options. The documents are wonderful things and should go to one (or more) good homes.

We also have some archives of the board on the eUSC website and we could place that type of data there as well. I haven't done updates to that site for ages, but it's still there! 🙂

Sheryll,

Good to hear from you.  I was just thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Thanks , billsey and Rob for your replies.

Paperhistory is on the jury at the stamp show and has offered to take the exhibit (assuming it is light enough). It will be if I swap out the mylar for lighter protector pages. There are also two one-page exhibits prepared, but they each use a piece out of the original exhibit. I will include them with the exhibit.

As most of you know, there are other copies of these valuable pieces out there. Knud-Erik was kind enough to send me his copies for the exhibit.

Rob, thank you for your kind words.  I am glad to see your posts on the Facebook version of this board.

billsey, we once talked about your putting the online version of the eUSC history  on the eUSC website, and I think this is the time to get it done, seeing we didn't do it 3 years ago. Ditto the exhibit.

I at present have not found my backup external hard drive, so what is on the website is all there is. I did have many board copies.

Also, the anti-anxiety tablets they have put me on has resulted in brain fog most of the time these days. so bear with me.
