One Less Reason To Visit The Westport Post Office
This entry was posted in Entertainment, Totally random and tagged Paul Newman, Westport Post Office. Bookmark the permalink.
One reason fewer. It continues to make me sad that the actual Paul Newman is no longer available. #Doesn’tSeemPossible
so true.. VIVIANNE
Tactless, ignorant… reminds me of DJT & Co.
It seems a tremendous waste that this beautifully designed stamp, created by one of our finest local artists in honor of one of our all-time great Westporters, should lie fallow in a post office archive. Someone might point out to the powers that be in the financially challenged USPS that a rerun would undoubtedly sell out immediately.
…first Trump, now this…..
I’ll bet if they made posters of the stamp, they could sell them and reduce the deficit. Or, has that been done?
As long as “forever USA” is still available.
Why????
I still have a sheet + and saving – only using a few for SPECIAL letters.
That is THE reason to go to Westport post office – to see that huge beautiful face on that poster!!
I have a sheet and a first day cover. They probably won’t be worth much until long after I’m gone, but they’re nice to look at.
Who is the local artist that created the image?
Keith, I don’t know who the artist was. When Dan wrote the original article (https://06880danwoog.com/2015/06/29/newmans-own-stamp) he didn’t tell us there either. ???
Sorry, I just realized that it was Nina Streitfeld who said it was a local artist. I guess it wasn’t.
