Reagan birth centennial stamp debuts
The Washington Times ^ | December 13, 2010 | Mark A. Kellner

Posted on 12/13/2010 12:06:08 PM PST by jazusamo

If it was "morning in America" for President Ronald Reagan, a new commemorative postage stamp due in February to mark "the Gipper's" birth centennial will forever view the sunrise.

The new commemorative stamp, whose design was unveiled Monday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., always will be valid for a 1-ounce first-class letter, the U.S. Postal Service confirmed. It officially will be released at the library on Feb. 10, 2011, four days after the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth.

Texas artist Bart Forbes did the portrait, based on a 1985 photograph of Reagan taken at Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, Calif.

The design was published first in Linn's Stamp News, a hobbyist publication. Earlier this year, Linn's broke the news that a Reagan Centennial postage stamp would be released.

Although the preliminary design shows a 44-cent value, the postal agency recently announced that all commemorative, or special, issues will be inscribed with "Forever," instead of a face value, meaning they would sell for the then-current first-class rate but would remain valid for first-class mail even when rates increase.

A USPS spokesman who asked not to be identified by name said a revised version showing the "Forever" inscription will be released Dec. 28.

It’s OK, sion...I’m only partially packed. And I still have to make the cookies and cocoa. Oh. Wait. I think I packed the cocoa when we didn’t move in Feb. I sure hope it doesn’t leak.

Would that be “Fluffys” or “Fluffies”?

Fluffy things named Fluffy would be Fluffys...yes?
On the other hand, if someone gives me a fluffy twice, then I’ve got fluffies. ;o]

We had an indoor Fluffy and an outdoor Fluffy.

We are peerlessly imaginative in naming cats.

Never had a Fluffy, but we had an Abby, Snookumfritz Nerd, Pretty Phat, Princess Caroline Matilda, and a dog named Andra.

Besides Fluffy, we had a cat named Mittens.

Yeah, I know, everybody has.

But we did have a cat named Pogo. I’m willing to take credit for that one. Pogo was a good cat, too.
