Bhutan

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I was reading a recent obit for a man named Burt Todd, who, among other
things, "visited the Kingdom of Bhutan, where, as a guest of the
present Queen Mother, Ashi Kesang of the Dorji family, he designed and
distributed a series of unique postage stamps that were sold around the
world."  This seems plausible except that it happened "shortly
after" 1949, whereas the first Bhutan issue in Scott's is 1962. 
Anyone out there have more info. on this?  It's quite intriguing...
