I don’t think the United States Postal Service will pay much attention to me, since I’m in Canada, but if you’re in the U.S., you can help put Isaac Asimov on a stamp.
Gordon van Gelder, editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, notes:
There’s an ongoing series of stamps called the Literary Arts series that has included most recently Ayn Rand, Ogden Nash, and Zora Neale Hurston. I think Dr. Asimov would fit in well with this series. If you agree, drop a note to:
CITIZENS’ STAMP
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
C/O Stamp Development
475 L’Enfant Plaza,
SW Room 5670
Washington, D. C. 20260-2437
We’ve posted a short letter on our Website (www.fsfmag.com) that you can print out, sign, and send to them. If you’d rather express yourself, be polite and keep to the point.
It’s a worthwhile goal. Asimov influenced me to become both an SF writer and a science writer; he deserves this honor.
