Commemorative Stamp Contributed by Alta Mae Stevens, 7-22-10      The stamp commemorating the first parachute jump doesn't show Daddy's face as the pilot. When that stamp came into the post office, the post master very proudly showed it to our Dad, who immediately said that the face was not his and that furthermore he had no idea who its was! I'm sure the poor postmaster was crestfallen, and Daddy never pressed the case further. Best of luck, Alta Mae
