I hope you're not saying that Mr. Ra lost that incredible collection in a house fire!!! That would be almost criminal, please tell me that didn't happen!

No he managed to save the stamp collection as the fire raged!

Then he got injured while rebuilding the house... he had a string of bad luck.

I hope he's well! I always enjoyed his posts.

Antonius Ra (Mitch Seymour) site is still active, but I don't think he has done much with it for a while.
His selling site seems disabled.

Londonbus1 We old stampoffers gang try to stay in touch one way or the other..it seems like a small world we travel in. I remember when you were going to come to New York...i don't know how many years ago that was.

re: i logged on the stamp forum after an absence of 5 years !

Every so often I come across some communication or auction sheet
from a dealer I used many years ago and wonder if they are still s
in the trade or even if they are still alive.
Most seem to it be in the latter category rather than the former.
Phil Halward, John Hotchner, and Dana Randal come immediately to
mind.
Then I think about the many others whose names I may never have actually known.
