MY name is George Phillips and I am an 84-year-old resident of Manitoba, Canada. As a young boy I had the privilege of collecting stamps and coins from around the world.
There was no Internet or mass media back then and this was one of the ways that one discovered the world around them.
I would like to pass this down to my great grandson Tristan Phillips, so he too may enjoy a hobby that was once popular but fading.
Even at the age of four, Tristan has shown interest in stamps and coins.
With this in mind, we would greatly appreciate it if you – the reader of this request – may find time to send Tristan some stamps and coins from your country so that I may assist him in the start of what may be a lifetime passion.
These can be sent, via mail, to:
