Kimble's January Calendar Into the Deep Blue The reader is in for a treat! I have known Dan Kimble for many years as a colleague, as we served on the same committee at the University of Oregon, but I was unaware of his philatelic interests. Then he contacted me several years ago, as he uses Big Blue for his worldwide collection, and he enjoyed the blog postings. And as it turns out, Dan has a considerable collection of classical era stamps saved with various postmark dates, either accumulated by himself, or from his father. An idea hatched - As a collaborative project, why not present a postmark calendar for all the 366 possible days of the year, represented by interesting appropriate date cancellation stamps from the Kimble collection? The plan is to publish, for 2017, a monthly blog post with the date postmarks for that month for everyone's enjoyment. January - this post (scroll down) February March April May I mentioned that a number of the stamps in the collection were originally collected by Dan's father, Colonel Ralph A. Kimble, Luff Award winner for outstanding service to the American Philatelic Society in 1944, Ralph Kimble was a very prominent philatelic editor and author, indeed. Read Dan's comments (and dedication) that follows... Jim "Commemorative Postage Stamps of the United States" Ralph A. Kimble, Grosset & Dunlap, 1933 In putting together this stamp calendar, I thought of my father, Ralph A. Kimble (1893-1973) many times, as several of the stamps in this calendar came from him to me. I honor his memory. He was a fine man and a loving father. In 2004, the American Philatelic Society honored my Dad and added him to the APS Hall of Fame. In an article published in The American Philatelist in February of that year, the article states “Ralph Kimble was one of America's leading editors, writers , and stamp columnists.” My Dad edited the American Philatelist from 1935 to 1951, except for the four years 1943-1946. During World War II, he served as the Inspector General for the 97th Infantry Division, with the rank of Colonel. He served in Europe and also in Japan during the American occupation of that country. He was awarded the Bronze star for his service. He also served with an artillery battalion in World War I, and received three medals from the French government for his service. "How to Collect Stamps" Ralph A. Kimble He authored several books about stamps. The best known was the popular “How to Collect Stamps”, which went into several printings, and can still be found in many libraries. He also wrote a more scholarly book, “Commemorative Postage Stamps of the United States”, based on a series of talks he gave on clear channel WMAQ radio in Chicago during the 1930s, billed as “the stamp man". The transcripts of those talks have been donated to the American Philatelic Society Library. My Dad also formed a major collection of philatelic literature, eventually sold in three auctions over several years, by Sylvester Colby. In 1944, he received the Luff Award for outstanding service to the APS. My father would have loved Jim’s “Big Blue” blog! He loved to talk about stamps and was deeply interested in the stories and history behind stamps. I think he would be interested and amused by our stamp calendar.
