Book excerpt: Cheryl Edgcomb is a lifelong stamp collector who specializes in United States postal history and topical/thematic collecting of "Rainbows" on stamps, for which she holds the Guinness World Record. A retired Postmaster with 30 years in the United States Postal Service, Cheryl started working with children as a Benjamin Franklin Stamp Club Coordinator for the United States Postal Service. She began including stamp exhibiting into the Benjamin Franklin Stamp Club Programs within her zip code area, establishing the Tri-Code Ben Franklin Stamp Fairs for children. Following a two year pilot for Postal Headquarters in Washington, DC, Cheryl founded Stamp Camp USA, a non-profit philatelic education program geared for children that achieved national and international acclaim. In 1995, Cheryl received the coveted "Luff Award" for exceptional contributions to philately, the highest recognition bestowed upon a member by the American Philatelic Society. Additionally, Cheryl served as the first CEO and Executive Director of Stamp Camp USA. Working with APS Director of Education, Gretchen Moody in 2012, Cheryl and Gretchen produced a philatelic preschool curriculum guide, "Children Learn Through Postage Stamps," which earned them a third place bronze award in the International Philatelic Literature Exhibition in Mainz, Germany. Cheryl is a member of the Elmira, New York Stamp Club. She currently resides in Knoxville, Pennsylvania with her husband, Brian, celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary this year, having one daughter and son-in-law, one son and daughter-in-law, and six grandchildren. Cheryl and her husband attend Knoxville Yoked Church, where she assists with adult Sunday school classes and Celebrate Recovery. In addition to writing, Cheryl enjoys fishing, and spending time with family and friends."
