On Aug. 4, at the American Philatelic Society (APS) StampShow in Richmond, Virginia, a first-day ceremony was held for a new set of Marshall Islands stamps "Honoring the Art of Paul Calle, 1928-2010."
In 1962, Calle was among the first group selected to participate in the NASA Art Program, which saw artists memorialize space accomplishments through art. Among his U.S. stamps are the Gemini of 1967 and the 1969 First Man on the Moon airmail issues.
The pane of twenty 49-cent stamps include: "The First Step of Man on the Moon," "Pioneer 10" and "Kennedy's Dream of Man on the Moon."

Chris Calle spoke at the ceremony honoring his father.
