[Yaesu] Stamps

[RDavis]

I save all my envelopes from QSLs and give them to my wife's girlfriend's 
kid who is a budding stamp collector.
He is tickled pink to get stamps from all over the world, for free. He 
probably now has stamps from nearly 150 countries.

The first batch, I wasn't very careful to not tear them at the edge when I 
opened the envelope. But now that I know someone is interested in them, I am 
very careful to not damage them.

Rick, WD8JJA.
