WTF, Philatelic Edition

My father, an avid stamp collector, suscribes to Linn's Stamp News, a glossy weekly covering all the goings-on (not many) and gripes (many) of the Philatelic world. I was rifling through a recent issues trying to fulfil my urge to hear old white men gripe about the Postal Service when I saw this letter recounting an anecdote about an Old Dead White Guy particularly beloved by seekers of knowledge on the Huffy Crew. Quite the Quiddity.
