Our dedicated treasurer for the past five years, and long time CartoPhilatelic Society member, Ed Vallery has retired from his position. Fellow member and Representative at Large Phil Coop will be taking over as Society Treasurer. Over the years Ed’s diligence in reaching out to members regarding their dues payments has been very beneficial to the continued strength of our Society. An avid golfer, Ed will will have more time now to spend with his family and concentrate on golf and cartophilately. Thank you for your service to the Society Ed and we look forward to hearing from you as a continuing member. We extend our thanks also to Phil for taking over the reigns in this new position.  ATA 65th NTSS 2014 Logo At the American Topical Association’s 65th National Topical Stamp Show (NTSS) [St. Louis Missouri, USA] held in June 2014, The New CartoPhilatelist was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal in the Medium Study Units (50-200 members) class. In addition, TNCP received the Grand Prize as the best of the 10 journals entered in this category. The award was presented at the banquet dinner to our Journal’s editor Mr. Martin Oakes who was joined at the ceremony by Society Vice-President David Wolfersberger and Society President Emeritus Miklos Pinther. “This award is not only proof of Martin’s dedication and effort towards producing each issue, but also the high level of research and attention to detail evident in the articles and content submitted by the authors. This is a wonderful recognition for the Society,” said CPS President Mark Honig. “Congratulations to everyone over the years who have helped put The New CartoPhilatelist on the philatelic literature world map!”

I am sure that all members will provide the same level of support to Mark as was given to me. ” — David Wolfersberger, March 2013.  Closed Album: Al Underberg 2013-01 On January 30th I received a phone call from Marilyn Underberg that her husband, Al had passed away that morning after a brief illness. Al Underberg was a member of our society from 1988 and served our society as Vice President between 2004 and 2010. Al had a huge stamp collection, besides map stamps he collected stamps of places he visited and collected stamps of countries he visited on his travels. He told me that traveling was actually his biggest hobby, before (map) stamp collecting. Al and Marilyn were members of the Travelers Century Club and have visited 167 countries. In his office in St. Peters-burg where he worked as an attorney, he had a world map with pins indicating all the places he had visited. His recent focus was on scientific re-search in philately and founded the Institute for Analytical Philately. He was Vice President of the St. Petersburg Stamp Club. Al is survived by his wife Marilyn, his four daughters and sons-in law and nine grandchildren. I will always remember his hospitality and generosity when we met and during my stays at their home in St. Petersburg, FL. All members of the CPS thank Al for his service to the Society and express our condolences to Marilyn and his family. Mark Honig |
