Is Mark Twain everywhere or is it just me? On Saturday, the U.S. Postal Service is unveiling a new Mark Twain stamp in Hannibal, Missouri. I can’t decide if Mark Twain would like his face on a stamp. On one hand, I think he liked pictures of himself. He once ordered 1,500 copies of one picture because he looked good in it! On the other hand, he may not like to be on a stamp because the price of stamps are so expensive. In 1907, he met with the British Postmaster General to lower the cost of sending mail from the US to Great Britain to 2 cents but I also can’t tell if he was joking! I'll have to save the stamp questions for Hannibal but until then support the USPS and buy his stamp!
