Several times I've been surprised in the course of collecting and exchanging stamps online. I don't know why, but I tend to assume that other collectors will be male. More than once I've discovered that not to be the case, and I've had to make hasty revisions to this blog! Along the same lines, I've been pleasantly surprised to learn that two or three of the people that have contacted me are children, which means that there is hope for philately to continue as a hobby.
Armin is twelve, and his letter was the start of my twenty-first exchange. Armin is helped by his father - also a collector. Armin and I exchanged 60 stamps from Germany and New Zealand.
