Lost Stamps in Western Kentucky

Last Saturday at 5:30 p.m., I was sorting through a green binder of my stamp collection on the desk by the big bay window in my Paducah apartment, when I realized the binder was gone. The collection holds a handful of mid-century U.S. issues and a few foreign stamps my grandfather gave me, all tucked inside that binder with a yellow cover. The desk now feels oddly empty, and I’m left imagining someone else flipping through those tiny reminders of family history. I’m hoping the finder walked by Market House Square in downtown Paducah and kept an eye out so I can reclaim a piece of my grandfather’s memory.
