I just got my November "American Philatelist." In the Membership Report, listed as deceased is Harry L. Anderson of Houston, Tx. Harry produced the Space City Cover Society (SCCS) cachets from the time of the Apollo Fire into the 1970's. The SCCS cachets were always nicely printed and postmarked in Houston, often with local post stamps attached as well as regular postage. Harry will be missed... |

So sorry to hear of Harry's passing as I haven't been in contact with him since the early/mid 1990s.His space cover society in Texas provided printed and serviced space covers on a regular basis along with local post stamp issues. While many of his covers contained Houston-area postmarks, he would quite often use my firm's philatelic cancelling services from the Florida Space Coast with either Kennedy or Cape postal cancels. For more than a decade or two we had a close working relationship together with our cover producing companies, which I believe, first got underway during the early 1970s. He was a good man and always a pleasure to know and work with. |

Sorry to hear about Harry Anderson.I was in touch with him about 5-6 years ago and bought some of his Apollo 11 covers. He had a few advertisements in Linn's at the time. It is unfortunate that another pioneering space cover collector is gone. RIP. |

I agree with Ken and Dave...Mr. Anderson really made our hobby special in many, many ways and I, too, am sorry to hear of his passing. Gene Bella |
