Not an historian, philatelist or specialist in communications among the lot of them.

It's part of the new USPS mindset ... they don't want more old time philatelists on their Committee who often supports historical themes or famous Americans on stamps anymore; instead, they want designers and artists on the Committee who will cooperate with the new "pop culture" thinking of today's US Postal Service stamp program.

Sad but true.
