Virgulák, Treasurer “Dear Staff of the HRFA: Most sincerely do 1 want to thank you for giving me the beautiful plate and the hundreth anniversary book. As I have glanced through the book so many memories flooded my mind... My many long morning walks from my apartment on P Street to Pennsylvania Avenue and stopping to have a cup of coffee and glazed doughnut for ten cents. How times have changed! Thank you again for remembering me on my 90"' birthday. With sincere love, Elizabeth Komaromy Stant. ” Congratulations to Winner of the 1998 Graceful Envelope Contest bopttyíMalau. 25 s s s >USA 33j H M Ml 0 5 1998 %&(fMeejat8we{cpe Content ^1998 '-RATIONAL — POSTAL *MUiSUM S/AITt4iOMIAN*lH?riTimOH MfUMTONW Reverend Novak's winning envelope design We were delighted to receive the good news that we have a contest winner among our ranks. From more than 250 entries, the National Postal Museum of the Smithsonian Institution selected 75 winners of the National Postal Museum’s Graceful Envelope Contest 1998, among them, the Reverend Nicholas Novak. Underscoring the argument that an envelope can be more than a mailing wrapper — that it can also be an artist’s canvas — the National Postal Museum on the occasion of its fifth birthday invited calligraphers and artists to create envelopes that could be considered calligraphic works of art. An avid stamp collector, Reverend Novak notes that the incorporation of two stamps into the design probably helped his entry become a winner. He says his wife was his inspiration for beginning to create his brilliantly colored designs, and accordingly lists her as co-creator of this envelope. Reverend Novak’s work of art, along with those of the other 75 winners, will be on display at the National Postal Museum, Smithsonian Institution, The Art of Cards and Letters Gallery, for an indefinite period of time. We join the National Postal Museum in congratulating Reverend Novak “for his truly wondrous work of art, which delighted everyone who saw it, from the postal clerks and letter carriers, to the National Postal Museum.” When visiting Washington, D.C., do not miss the chance to see the creativity and craftsmanship at work in this exhibit.The Museum is located at 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, in the Washington City Post Office Building on Capitol Hill (next to Union Station), and it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information call (202) 357-2991.
