    Tuesday, November 12, 7:00 p.m. Eastern via Zoom

    You are invited to join Kurt Sanftleben (San-flay-ben) of Paper Americana for a program on adding original source material, ephemera and postal history to your topical collection and/or thematic exhibit.

He has retired twice, the first time as an Army officer in 1994 and the second time in 2012 as the civilian Director of the Marine Corps Research Center in Quantico, Virginia. He and his wife, Gail, have been selling antiquarian paper Americana to include books, documents, correspondence, photographs, postal history, and ephemera as a hobby since 1998.
