So well deserved!!!
The United Nations Postal Administration is honoring former Secretary-General Kofi Annan on a stamp that was issued May 31.
The $1.30 definitive (regular-issue) stamp is for use from the post office at U.N. headquarters in New York City.
A first-day ceremony took place at the American Stamp
Dealers Association’s spring stamp show at the Watson Hotel, 440 W. 57th St., New York, N.Y. The ceremony began at noon. The show runs through June 2.
Designed by Rorie Katz of UNPA, the stamp depicts a portrait of Annan by artist and engraver Martin Morck. It also includes a quote from the diplomat: “To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.”
