Yesterday I read on another forum that one of our members,Galeoptix passed away recently. Rein participated and shared his knowledge on a number of forums. Australian,Austrian, Argentinian, Swiss, German etc etc. He was into all aspects of stamp production but Rein's specialty was stamp papers and watermarks. I learned a lot from him, even though I didn't always understand some of his finer details.
Reinier Cornelis Bakhuizen van den Brink (Rein)
Born: Leiden, Netherlands on October 14, 1947
Died : Krakow, Poland on June 18, 2021 Rest in Peace

RIP Here is Rein's website that has a lot of philatelic information on it which I just came across today while looking for something: http://www.galeoptix.nl/fila/druktech.htm(Perhaps someone who knows how to save websites and their information will be able to do so before anything is potentially lost.) |

RIP Most of his posts were over my head but even I picked up a few things through the years.

I am reading as much as I can from his old posts. What I will miss the most is not being able to ask him any questions. |
