It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Dr Wolf Hess RDP who lost his long battle with cancer on 31 July.
Wolf was a distinguished surgeon and a towering figure in philately in Germany and internationally. A renowned author, exhibitor and international juror, he created many collections and exhibits and was an international judge in traditional philately, postal history, thematics and postal stationery. He won many high awards, and Grand Prix in thematics at HAFNIA in 2001 and in postal history in Sofia in 2009 with ‘Finland Postal History’. He was elected to the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 2010 and in 2020 became a member of the Consilium Philatelicum. He was a great friend and helper to many and will be greatly missed.
RIP

On 25th November at 11:30 am FEPA is organising a panel discussion on “Philately – Forever in the shadows?” at the Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo. This discussion will form part of the MONACOPHIL 2022 exhibition. The panel host will be Charles Epting, CEO of H.R. Harmer in New York, who has been very active in promoting philately on-line with his “Conversations with Philatelists”. The panel will include several interesting participants and we are expecting to have a good discussion about how to improve our image and capture the interest of a broader and younger audience.
Details of the programme here. Do join us. We will be very glad to see you.
