With a heavy heart, I must report that Karen Cartier, wife of Space Cover of the Week contributor Ray Cartier (cvrlvr99) passed away on Feb. 19, 2024. She and Ray had been married for over 59 years with three children. They often said that they never had an argument in all of those years! Karen was an accomplished philatelist and philatelic author in her own right. She and Ray became the founders of the Mid-Cities Stamp Club in Arlington, Texas, serving as the club's first President and Secretary. Karen later started the Fairytale, Folk Tale Study Unit of The American Topical Association. This 400-member organization is composed of postage stamp collectors who specialize in collecting stamps which illustrate each individual collector’s favorite topic. Additionally, she authored four books, based on her topical stamp collection, re-writing versions of the stories, which were illustrated by enlarged color stamps which pictured this topic. Her obituary is here. Please join me in condolences for Ray... |
