In London at the same time will be our friend Andrew Scott and his partner Katherine Johnston. Katherine is an artist (you can see her work here at http://www.katherinejohnston.com/. Andrew Scott is a well known BC journalist, author and editor. His latest book "The Encyclopedia of Raincoast Place Names" won both the Lieutenant Governor's Medal and the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional BC Book Prize. Andrew was kind enough to allow us to reprint one of his articles on his love of philately and postal history. If some of the text is too difficult to read on our website, read it directly on his site: http://www.andrew-scott.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Postal-Passions2.pdf.
