Bill Monroe stamp campaign continues

Kitsy Kuykendall of IBMA reports:

I thought I would mention again to those of you who have not (or even have) sent a letter to the US government about getting a Bill Monroe stamp that we need to get back on top of this. The ten-year waiting period since he died has passed and we need to remind them again that we want a stamp for the Father of Bluegrass.

All you have to do is write a letter to the US Postal Service outlining why you think Mr Monroe deserves to have his face on a stamp. Send the letter to:

Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee
Stamp Development
US Postal Service
1735 North Lynn Street, Room 5013
Arlington, VA 22209-6432

If you would like some more input into this, go to this site for information and some 'talking points' for your letter. Thanks for considering doing this - it is about time to recognise him and the bluegrass world.
