It with sadness that I share the belated news that astrophilatelist Steve Durst died on March 30, 2026 at the age of 80. Steve had a been a member of this site for 22 years (posting as "stevedd841"), including being one of the contributors to the Space Cover of the Week series under the Stamps & Covers forum.From his family's obituary: As a young man, Steve’s heroes were the astronauts in the U.S. space program. As an officer, he served on the recovery ship for Apollo 13, beginning his lifelong passion for collecting space memorabilia. He became editor of a magazine of astrophilately, and even met one of his idols, Buzz Aldrin. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. |

Our space hobby - especially astrophilately - has lost another great pioneer collector with Steve's passing. Rest in peace, Steve. |
