The mingle started seven years before the stamps.




US Scott #1530-1537 issued 1974:



"I told myself, 'You're a colonel. You don't cry. You're a tough guy,' he said."

"'His letters were a treat and something to look forward to. He's an incredible writer. Every time I received something in the mail from him, it was like a winning-the-lottery feeling,' said Feeney."

Edited to add: Since 1910, "...Camp Fire connects young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves." Yes, here, The Camp Fire Girls did just that in 1967 with a nod to the January 1, 1968 edition.
