Exhibits & Awards

I have been exhibiting competitively in national philatelic exhibitions since 1962. Since 1982, I've exhibited twenty-three different exhibits in six different disciplines—traditional, postal history, postal stationery, aerophilately, revenues, and first day covers—having achieved gold medals in each. Twenty-three different exhibits in twenty-four years...whew! Below are listed my exhibits and awards since 1982. The number in parentheses is the number of times I've won that award.
