Default Lawrence To Head Americover 2008 Exhibition Jury

Ken Lawrence of Pennsylvania will be chief judge for Americover 2008,
the annual show and convention of the American First Day Cover
Society.

He will be joined on the exhibition jury by Harvey Tilles of North
Carolina, Peter Martin of Connecticut, Tony Wawrukiewicz of Oregon,
and Charles Verge of Ontario. Steven Zwillinger of Maryland is the
apprentice.

The three-day World Series of Philately show will be held August 22-24
at the Fairview Park Marriott Hotel in Falls Church, Va., and will
feature a large mostly-FDC bourse, cachetmakers bourse, top exhibits,
a banquet, meetings, seminars, youth booth, pre-show area tour and
post-show dinner event. A first day of issue ceremony and a forum by
postal officials involved with first day covers is also likely.

Eliot Landau, a veteran WSP and first day cover exhibitor, won the
Grand Award for best exhibit at Americover 2007 for his "The Franklin
Delano Roosevelt Memorial Series of 1945-46 and It's First Day Covers
and Use." He will represent Americover at the WSP Champion of
Champions competition one week before Americover 2008, during
StampShow 2008 in Hartford, Conn.

Lawrence is a prolific researcher and author on many philatelic fronts
but especially 20th century United States stamps and postal history.
His articles appear in numerous journals and he has authored books on
plate number coils and the Liberty series of postage stamps. He has
been a consultant to a number of collectors and exhibitors of first
day covers.

Martin is a past editor of First Days, Scott Stamp Monthly, and the
American Philatelist, and has authored many articles in the philatelic
press on revenue stamps and postal history of the National Parks,
among other topics.

Tilles was a founder and first president of the North Carolina Postal
History Society. He currently serves on the boards of the Postal
History Society and the Military Postal History Society.

Verge is immediate past president of the Royal Philatelic Society of
Canada and is an international author, exhibitor and FIP judge. He is
also past president of the Éire Philatelic Association and the
American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors, and a consultant to
Canada Post, the Canadian Postal Museum, and the Canadian Stamp
Dealers Association.

Wawrukiewicz is a specialist in the postal rates and auxiliary
markings of the United States. He has exhibited modern U.S. postal
history and authors a column on this subject in Linn's Stamp News.

Zwillinger collects, exhibits, and authors articles on the cachets of
Burma, India, Aden, British Somaliland, and Sudan, and has exhibited
these areas at Americover and other national shows.

The Americover 2008 prospectus and exhibit application may soon be
downloaded from the AFDCS Web site, www.afdcs.org, or requested by
mail from Norman Elrod, 641 Dogwood Trail, McMinnville, TN 37110-3015,
or e-mail at . A business-size self-addressed
stamped envelope would be appreciated for hard-copy requests.
