All in the Family.


The Stamp Collecting Report, I'm Lloyd de Vries.
 
Fifteen-year-old Heather Lazaroff is running for the Board 
of Directors of the American Ceremony Program Society...the 
group that collects the souvenirs handed out at launch 
ceremonies for new stamps.


That's not surprising, because her father, Chris, is the 
King of First Day Ceremonies: He's attended them in 37 of 
the 50 states, and is aiming for all 50. You might say he 
collects first day ceremonies.


Last month, his 12-year-old daughter, Jennifer, was a guest 
speaker at a first day ceremony in California, for the Deep 
Sea Creatures stamps. It kicked off a promotion aimed at 
children, and Jennifer wants to be a marine biologist. That 
ceremony was her 42nd in 21 states, going back to when she
was five months old. 


The family hails from northeastern Ohio, but they've been 
as far afield as Alaska.


In her speech, Jennifer said she likes going to ceremonies 
with her father, because it's something the whole family 
does together -- Chris, Jennifer, Heather and their mother, 
Denise.


And that's stamp collecting this week.
