I just found and watched an interesting video on the history of the Asheville Stamp Club presented by Don Denman. A lot of good information on the club and photos of meetings and exhibitions in the Asheville area. I know that there are some members of the club on this forum and this is part of the legacy that he left when he departed. Well done !

I have nothing to add to your post, but would strongly recommend that you edit your title to replace the "WNC" abbreviation, which means nothing to the vast majority of the readers here and will not help string-searching in the distant future. It is always best to write-out words fully. Just saying.

I fully understand what WNC means because I know where Asheville is, BUT many will not (particularly international readers), which is why I advised you to edit the TITLE.
(If I had admin powers I would have done it automatically without even asking.)
