VOL. 7 NO. 3

ACROSS rHE FENCE WILL LIVE ON AFTER APRIL!

BULLErIN: KIRK BECKER, Member of the Green Bay Philatelic

Society has volunteered to take over as Editor of "Across the

Fence" starting with the May issue .

Mr . Becker wrote to me on February 13th to inquire about the

responsibil ities, number of hours spent in putting an issue together, getting it to the members, and any information I could

give him.

I answered his letter as best I could and didn't pull any

punches. I thought it best to divulge all now rather than leave

any surprises for later. I'm happy to announce that even after

receiving all the gruesome details, he still had the intestinal

fortitude to step forward into the fire.

On February 27th Mr. Becker replied to my letter and volunteered to be considered for Editor. He states that he has had some

experience producing school papers and yearbooks." " I think I'd

be able to meet the needs of the Federation as Editor of it ' s

newsletter." He goes on to say, "I'd appreciate it if you'd list

my name with the appropriate people as someone interested in applying

for your job as Editor." "I'm not sure I believe I just wrote that,

but there it is ." I liked Kirk's last statement I

Kirk ' s name will now be submitted to the Executive Board

for appointment to Editor of the Federation newsletter during the

Federation meeting at wausau. Barring any unforseen opposition,

Kirk Becker will then become the new Editor.

I am glad that someone finally came forward to keep bringing

a newsletter to all Wisconsin Federation members . It ' s always great

to get new blood and new ideas into any organization . Just as an

old year must make way for a new year, "old" editors must make way

for new ones. Change is a constant in all our lives and I look

forward to the changes that Mr . Becker will bring to the newsletter

and the Federation .

ATTENTION STAMP SHOW JUDGES !

Tile Editorship is nut the only area looking for "New Blood."

I received a letter from Chuck Rebek, Chairman of the Judging

Committee, with a request for more judges .

The WFSC needs some new blood in the area of judges since

our present core of judges numbers only 8 approved judges and

4 present apprentices .

fhe other area of concern is that all the judges are living

in the lower part of the state, and have .to travel long distances

to judge shows in the Northern coummunities.

We would like to start training some good people as

apprentices in the middle, northern, and northwestern part

of the state so that judges will be readily availabel and

at lower expense.

All that is needed is an individual who wants to learn

and who has won an award in WFSC state competition or higher .

I'd be happy to send out an application to any person who wants

to get their feet wet in an exciting offshoot of our hobby.

To receive an application write to: Charles J . Rebek,

C.L.U . , 6440 W. North Avenue, Wauwatosa, WI . 53212 or phone

(414) 771-9100 and ask him to send one to you.

Below is a list of present judges available .

MADPEX 3 CHANGES SHOW DATES.

MADPEX 3 has had to reschedule their show due to a show being scheduled

in the Milwaukee area on the same date as the Madison show. It was

originally scheduled for October 26 & 27 and has been listed as such

for many months in the Stamp Show Calendar . The new dates are Nov.

2 & J . Many of the same dealers attend both shows. Because most would

rather go to the larger Milwaukee area show, Madison would be short

on dealers and the show would suffer.

As the newsletter goes to press, I have still not been informed by

any Milwaukee area club that they intend to hold a show on Oct. 26

& 27. Apparently the Stamp Show Calender means little!
