Bob Wilcsek published in the Airpost Journal, the monthly pblication of the American Airmail Society, his 100th Zeppelin Letter. His first Zeppelin Letter column in the Airpost Journal was published in June 1992 and Bob continuesly fed his readership with stunning and interesting facts and discoveries on zeppelin mail. The February 2010 issue (Volume 81, Number 2) of the Airpost Journal printed now his 100th column. Incredible – might this fountain of information never run dry!
Congratulations Bob!
P.S. Has anyone counted the columns Bob wrote for the Zeppelin Post Journal?

Hallo Zeppeliner!
am Sonntag, den 17. Januar 2010, trifft sich die ZEPPELIN STUDY GROUP anlässlich der Briefmarkenmesse in Friedrichshafen, Deutschland.
Hier nun die Einzelheiten zu unserem Treffen:
Wir treffen uns um 14 Uhr 30 im Zeppelin-Hangar in Friedrichshafen. Zeppelin Hangar FN ist das Restaurant mit Lounge und Bar gleich neben der Friedrichshafener Zeppelinwerft und damit nur wenige Schritte von der Briefmarkenmesse entfernt. Die Briefmarkenmesse beginnt um 8 Uhr 30, so dass jeder genügend Zeit hat, sich am Vormittag bei den zahlreichen Händlern auf der Messe umzusehen. Und um 14 Uhr 30 trifft sich dann, wie bereits erwähnt, die ZEPPELIN STUDY GROUP.
Eine Anmeldung oder Mitgliedschaft ist nicht notwendig, das Treffen ist öffentlich, alle Luftpost- und Zeppelinpost-Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen!
Hier noch ein paar weiterführende Links zu dem Treffen:
