Posted today on the American Philatelic Society FB account: The APS is saddened to report the loss of past president, Janet R. Klug. Our thoughts are with her loving husband, Russ, and all those touched by Janet.
Janet R. Klug was a philatelist since childhood, a keen author and columnist, distinguished collector and exhibitor, specialising in Tonga, Samoa, Malaya and Japan under Australian occupation. According to the Smithsonian website, she once wrote: “History is not just about famous people and events. It also encompasses ordinary people doing ordinary things, overcoming the challenges that happen in their lives, surviving and thriving”.
She served organised philately from a lot of different positions. She was elected President of the American Philatelic Society (2003-2007), appointed member of the U.S. Postal Service Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee (2010-2014) and named chair (2014-2019). Among her awards were the APS Writers Unit Hall of Fame (2010), the Luff Award for Outstanding Service to the APS (2014) and the Smithsonian Philatelic Achievement Award (2019).

The July-August-September issue of Delcampe Magazine (No. 6) was released today. Philately, numismatics, cartophily and photography have been merged into one single publication since March 2022, with No. 1 of “Collections Classiques”.
The following Newsletter #1 has been published by the organisers of DeBra2024 Bilateral Exhibition:
Although it has been in the shadow of IBRA2023 for a long time, the preparations for DeBra2024 are going according to plan. All forms (exhibition conditions, registrations for the competition, registrations for the evening party, etc.) have been available for download in German and Portuguese on the website for a year now. Several study groups and dealers have already confirmed their attendance and have already registered. Since space is limited, study groups and dealers should make a reservation as soon as possible.
On both occasions “200 years German immigration in Brazil” and “50 years study group Brazil” there will be corresponding envelopes and special cancellations. An Individual stamp with the German exhibition logo is already available and can be purchased for €2.50 per item plus shipping costs.
