Wappingers Falls Post Office Persentation with Author Anthony P. Musso
Mr. Musso will be a presenter at Mesier Homestead immediately following the Historical Society Meeting on March 11th.
Mr. Musso was born and raised in Brooklyn and worked for 38 years as a public affairs manager, writer/editor and media spokesperson for the government. During this time, he detected an unusually close connection between FDR and the Post Office. Consequently, he took some time off from his job in order to research this connection thus leading to his book - FDR and the Post Office: A Young Boy's Fascination & a World Leader's Passion
Anthony Musso explores FDR's lifetime passion for the Post Office Department and how it extended well beyond stamp collecting. He implemented numerous stamp related initiatives during his terms of office including the establishment of first-day ceremonies, and the introduction of philatelic windows at local post offices. FDR reviewed and approved more than 200 postage stamps issued during his presidency; and personally submitted several hand drawn designs that went on to become stamps. As part of the Works Progress Administration, Roosevelt maintained a hands-on participation in the construction of 406 post office buildings nationwide.
Join us for this exciting Presentation!
