Partnerships

Not sure about restrictions, etc., but recognise the potential for partnership working:

#1 LFV has to be a partnership with Martin & Frances Collins
#2 1957 Jamboree has to be a partnership with BPM&A
#3 FJF has to be a partnership with his descendants and or Streetly Philatelic Society.

And I think this potential for partnership working is useful on a number of levels, but particularly notions of ownership and neighbourhood.

On one level FJF was just a Sutton Coldfield resident (and we are all, in some way, Sutton Coldfield residents collecting our parcels from the sorting office), but on another level, he had this huge sense of global connectivity (and we all want that, in some way).

Last night, re-did his family tree and wondered why he didn't fight in WW1. Also he was an expert in psychological warfare and propaganda. He and his son (John C. W. Field, local Sutton Coldfield historian) pop up quite often in 'The Falling Leaf' (the quarterly journal of the PsyWar Society)! Interesting family.
