Need contact in Brazil
Just before Christmas I lost a good friend of 30 years, a fellow translator
who came originally from Portugal, translated Portuguese for the federal government for many years, retired in Rio and took up stamp collecting (and Chopin). We both retired in '95, drifted apart but stayed in touch. Mário was also my last contact in Brazil. I now have a request: If anyone here, visible or lurking, can get me in touch with someone else in Brazil who would like to correspond with me mainly about stamps and/or music, I would be very glad and thankful. I would prefer someone more or less my own age (65) and definitely not a dealer in either stamps or music. Eu ficaria muito feliz corresponder em português se o inglês apresenta problemas. Thanks in advance. - Obrigado de antemão. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -- http://www.amedialuz.ca/ |

He was a commissioner at our stamp exhibition HAFNIA 2001 in Denmark and a very nice person. Send him an e-mail and say hello from me, please! He will answer you for sure!

Thanks very much for Mr. Lopes's address, I shall certainly drop him a note med hilsener fra dig. My main interest is in the Education, Railroad, Industry, Aviation, Navigation and Agriculture of the early 20th century, and like the Danish Waves once I get my hands on a copy it never leaves me again even if in time I end up with 10 pages of "the same stamp". I hope Mr. Lopes can point me to places where these particular stamps are occasionally available in quantities. I am also missing many other Brazilian stamps in my pre-1960 collection. Well, hope for the best. Thanks again. Mvh. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada |
