The title was what was given to me was 500 years of Fife Postal History should perhaps have been titled 500 years of the Post Office. Many of the members knew most of the story, but I hope we learned something from the talk and display, and of course new members as well. We appreciated you Graham for coming to visit us. Many thanks. |
