Tom Howard
Many thanks to Tom Howard for his exciting and informative presentation:
"The History of the Graf Zeppelin & Aerophilately."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Tom accompanied by his wife, Joan traveled to Wilmington to attend our March meeting. Tom detailed the history of lighter-than-air zeppelins, airships, blimps and illustrated how stamps and flown-covers documented this exciting area of history. His presentation included pictures of post cards and actual flown-covers to complement specific historical events. Most importantly, the large WPS audience overwhelmingly enjoyed this aerophilatelic presentation and the passion that Tom brought to this subject.
