which ones are you missing, if any? do you cxollect just one example of each

Ken,
You are the sweetest and most caring individual on this list. I
think most lists have a silent majority and vocal minority. I was just
curious as there was only one reply. I thank you for thinking of me and
remembering the stamps. I dediced to collect the state quarters - so I guess
I can say I collect coins now also. GRIN
