The Spanish Federation of Philatelic Societies (FESOFI) has sent us the sad news of the death of Luis Alemany, winner of eight FIP Grand Prizes, and a great person.
He passed away on 9th April due to the Alzheimer illness he suffered from in recent years. Rest in peace.
A record of his distinguished philatelic career is attached.
Dr Vojtech Jankovich, who is a member of the Board of the Slovak Federation, has let us know that he has added fresh news and articles to the philatelic portal at www.philanotes.com.
The portal is full of interesting information and is well worth a visit, especially in these days when we have to spend so much time in our homes. Google Translate into English is available at a click which makes the content easily accessible to a wider audience.
If your Federation is doing innovative things that would be of interest to philatelists in other countries, please let us know and we will be glad to report them.
With all best wishes
Bill Hedley
