It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Sam Stein.I met Sam at the little red school house in Flushing, New York at a Space Stamp Club Meeting and the first words from him was, "got covers to trade," and it was like that for forty-four great years. He was always the one to spread the word and information about the hobby. He will be missed. |

I am also sad to hear of the passing of Sam Stein. He was a frequent visitor to the IASP Booth at ASDA Shows in NYC and often attended IASP meetings at the Hall of Science in Queens, NY. I considered Sam a friend. — Bill York |

Sam and his late wife Micki were always welcome attendees at our east coast space meetups. Sam served on the cruiser USS Portland in WWII. He put me on to the excellent book "Sweet Pea At War - A History of the USS Portland", and he autographed my copy. One great guy... |
