The Society is sad to report the passing of Steve Feller. Steve joined the Society in 2007 and contributed multiple articles to the CWPS journal over the past 5 years. The above photo was extracted from an article Steve contributed to the Q4 2020 edition of the journal. Steve stands in front of the Thomas de la Rue pub in St. Peter Port, Guernsey in 2006. This is near the birthplace of de la Rue. The printing company founded by de la Rue was one of the leading stamp printers in the world at the time of the American Civil War.

The society is thankful for Steve’s contributions and extends our sympathy to his family and friends. In the recently completed society elections, Steve was voted to serve as a Trustee for the 2026/2027 term. In concurrence with the by-laws, in order to the fill the vacancy, the existing board voted unanimously to re-instate James Montich as a Trustee. Jim was included on the election ballot and was only a few votes short of Steve in his bid for re-election. We thank Jim for his willingness to continue his support of the Society as a Trustee.
