Meet Dr. Meng who lent his stamp collection to the Scott catalog folks so they could make color scans for the 2004 scott catalogs..How could a guy keep up with a collection like that ??? I wonder what field of medicine he was in ????  |

I wonder if he has Sharjah, Fujeira, Volm's post, and Volcania, Hutt River, and Isle de Rouad? He may want to borrow mine?  |

I remember reading that story within the last year, but I don't remember where -- probably Linns.

Thanks Phil -- Should I be concerned that I can't remember something from two months ago? Yesterday, I was a young man; today I have fur growing in my ears!  |

Whoa! I am so envious but I guess I should just be happy that at least someone took the time to preserve all that history. |

@philb: He actually passed away recently; guess the collection is on hold unless his wife, who used to help him out, decides to keep going. |
