Preparation of 175,000 First Day Covers - each cancellation had to be near perfect and covers were piled up in the centre of the table as they could not be boxed until cancelling ink dry, and more importantly that there was absolutely no chance that moisture from the reverse flaps would connect with the souvenir sheets affixed to face of each envelope if boxed too early.
The three members are Annette (?), Lizbe Gonsalves (centre) and Sharon Fairburn (right). The final count of the Bureau staff at the time of my leaving was 126 girls and 3 guys manually servicing some 30,000 collector accounts worldwide in the days prior computers. Wonderful times!
Two IMPERFORATE PROOF error souvenir sheets sent to the Bureau, but long forgotten about by me, were recently acquired from Dauwalder's stamp shop in Salisbury and are currently available in the POSTAL HISTORY SECTION of this shop. All incoming proofs from the printers were carefully stored under lock and key at the Bureau, but these, and other proofs, came onto the market probably through the activities of the agency handling the dreadful St. Vincent mass productions in later years.
