September 12-13, 1998:

A personal guide for a stamp show.

The Stamp Collecting Report, I'm Lloyd de Vries.

Robert Stevenson of Carbondale, Illinois, is a stamp
mentor, which is...

RUNS=:38
OUT: "...can I help you?

["...an attempt to help people who walk on the floor of a
stamp show for the first time and are absolutely dumbfounded
as to where I go next or what do I do or why am I here?"

LdeV: "Do most shows have floor mentors?"

"I'm the only one in existence at the present time!"
(laughter)

"You look at 'em as they come through the door, and, I mean,
their chin drops and....'What do I do now? Where do I go
and how do I begin?'"

LdeV: "What would you think are the qualifications for a
floor mentor?"

"An 'A' personality. (laughter)

"Somebody who's not afraid to go out and meet the public,
who can walk up to a stranger and say, 'Can I help you?'"]

You can find out more by writing Robert Stevenson at the
American Philatelic Society, or A-P-S, Box 8000,
State College, Pennsylvania 1-6-8-0-3.

And that's Stamp Collecting this week.
