Ribbons Greetings fellow collectors, It is my pleasure to welcome you to UNEXPO 17, a special World Series of Philately Exhibition dedicated to showcasing the diverse and wonderful collecting areas of United Nations (UN) and UN-related philatelic topics. This event also marks a very special union between the two hosting societies, the United Nations Philatelists Inc., (UNPI), and the American Philatelic Society (APS). On September 30th 1977, the UNPI was officially recognized as Affiliate Number 71 of the APS, and today, some forty years later, we come together for a second time to cele- brate our great hobby and United Nations philately. And what better venue, than the American Philatelic Center, home of the APS and American Philatelic Research Library (APRL). UNEXPO 17 provides all visitors with a wonderful opportunity to view some of the finest UN and UN-related exhibits ever assembled in a single competition. Many diverse areas of UN collecting are represented from postal history to display class to thematics and topicals, so please spend time walking among the frames to see some won- derful material and presentations. In addition to the exhibits, we have a very interesting two day program with presentations on a wide variety of UN topics, short films about stamp production and the work of the UN, and tours of the many useful offices of the APS, including the sales circuit and great reference collections in the APRL. Please look through this program for a listing of those presentations. We are pleased to have a small select group of philatelic dealers with a wonderful selection of stamps, covers, and postal history at our bourse. Please spend time reviewing their holdings and add some wonderful new material to your collections. Finally, enjoy this show program and special issue of the Journal of the United Nations Philatelists. We are the national collectors club for UN and UN-related philatelic material, and welcome you to join our organization. With warmest philatelic regards, Greg Galletti, Chairman, UNEXPO 17 Special Event Souvenir Sheet to be issued by UNPA at the show on October 27, 2017 THE JOURNAL OF UNITED NATIONS PHILATELISTS Vol. 41 #5 OCTOBER 2017 1 UNEXPO17 Program Day Time Slot Presentation Presenter Thursday, 10/26 2:00-6:00 Exhibit set-up All 2nd Floor APC, APRL Friday, 10/27 10:00 Show Opens Sundman Hall 10:00-4:30 APS Headsville PO, Sales Circuit Office and APS Staff APRL are open 10:00-6:00 UN in Action-Short Film Presentation US Stamp Society Rm 10:00-10:15 Opening Ceremony Greg Galletti, Ken Martin, APRL Main Floor Scott English, UNPA 10:30-11:00 A Tour of APRL UN related resources Greg Galletti APRL Main Floor 11:00-6:00 Tours of the American Philatelic Center Ken Martin Main Lobby (by re- quest) 11:15-11:45 The Institute of Oceanography-Monaco Fran Adams Air Mail Rm 2nd Fl 12:00-1:00 Lunch Break + Tour of APS/APRL Ken Martin Meet in Main Lobby 1:00-1:30 UNPA FD Ceremony-Human Rights UNPA, Invited Guests APRL Main Floor 1:45-2:45 Smithsonian Institution-General Introduction to Daniel Piazza Air Mail Room the Museum 2nd Floor 3:00-3:45 Postal History of UPU Congresses Clem Clement Air Mail Rm 2nd Fl 4:00-4:30 Forensic Philately Greg Galletti Air Mail Rm 2nd Fl 4:45-5:15 The Title Page-the most Critical Page of your Tony Dewey Air Mail Room exhibit 2nd Floor 5:30-6:00 Preparing a Synopsis-Helping the Jury help you Tony Dewey Air Mail Room 2nd Fl 6:00 Show Closes Saturday, 10/28 9:30 Tour of APS Facility and Headsville PO Ken Martin Main Lobby 10:00 Show Opens Sundman Hall 10:00-4:00 APS Headsville PO, Sales Circuit Office and APS Staff APRL are open 10:00-4:00 UN in Action-Short Film Presentation US Stamp Society Rm 10:00-11:00 UNPI Annual Meeting All Morse Building 10 min Welcome Greg Galletti 15 min League of Nations Overprinted Stationery Fran Adams 15 min The Malaria Campaign Larry Fillion 15 min Eleanor Roosevelt Chris Dahle 5 min Presentation of Dick Powers Award Clem Clement (First Recipient) 11:15-12:00 Smithsonian Institution-Dag Hammarskjold and Daniel Piazza At the Frames Celebrate the Century Stamps 12:15-2:00 UNPI Luncheon - Tickets Required MOC Tony Dewey, Bob Morse Building Ziegler 2:00-3:00 AAPE Exhibiting Forum Tony Dewey Morse Building 3:00-4:00 Judges Feedback Session Bob Zeigler (Chief), Elisa- Morse Building beth Hisey, Jeffrey Shapiro 4:00 Show Closes 2 THE JOURNAL OF UNITED NATIONS PHILATELISTS Vol. 41 #5 OCTOBER 2017 UNEXPO17 Exhibition Jury: Robert Zeigler (Indiana) Chief; Elizabeth Hisey (Florida); Jeffery Shapiro (Massachusetts) Exhibitor Exhibit Name Frames Exhibit Description Competitive Exhibits Fran Adams The Leticia Incident 1 Commission for Administration of Leticia, 1933-34 (Thematic) Fran Adams United Nations Origins 1938- 6 Personalities and events directly contributing to the replacement of the 1942 League of Nations by a new peace organization.
