Re: roll film back for 5X7

[Simon Nathan <simonwide@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

dear steve- i shall answer briefly, but at length later. about 2am i wrote to someone a partial answer and i can't find it. i am new on this machine and way of communication. i often photographed at united nations for time, newsweek, ny times and i got to know jan ralph, a wonderful man from tasmania who was photo officer. he suggested that u.n. do a panoramic stamp. it was in committee about three years. do you know what an elephant is, it's a mouse manufactured to government specifications. well
one day i was doing central park airviews from blimp  for ny daily news sunday magazine and after i was finished we went down the river, the east river. i saw the united nations so i took two frames to show jan ralph, my friend at the u.n. i never got to show these transp because i misplaced them for more than a year, maybe two. day i found it i got on decamp bus from here in new jersey to port authority bus station, cross town on the #42, walked to philatelic office to see rocco callari the designer. bingo. enough? there's lots more to u.n. stamp story, but enough for now. simon nathan
