ROMPEX, The Rocky Mountain Stamp Show is Denver's big yearly stamp show. It was held May 18-20 at Holiday Inn at DIA.

I went on Saturday and didn't buy a thing. It saddens me, I would really like to get back into stamps, but everything seemed too expensive, too organized. I began selling off my stamps simply because I needed the money. I still have a bunch of stamps, and I will start big collecting again, but for now my spare time is spent in working overtime. If I could spend time selling stamps, that would be much more pleasurable, and maybe I could then add to my own collection as well.

Maybe after the death of Everett Maddock has passed further into history I will be able to get back into stamps on my own. I am building a page of old pictures of Everett.
