The 100th issue of the Ukrainian Philatelist Journal is just around the corner. It is beyond a doubt, a wonderful achievement for UPNS to have reached such a significant milestone in publishing this world class publication and to have won a Gold Medal in the Philatelic Literature category at the APS StampShow in Hartford this past August. Congratulations to all the editors of the Journal who selflessly toiled over each article these many years, each leaving their imprint that led to the Gold.
For the 100th issue, we ask all our members to contribute to the Journal by writing about their favorite collectibles. Pick up to five items and write no more than 6 lines describing each item and why it holds special meaning to you. Forward your writeups along with a 300dpi scan of the item to
If at all possible, we would like to collect 100 stories and, space permitting, we would like to publish them in the next Ukrainian Philatelist. We look forward to your submissions.

The majestic, silver airship Graf Zeppelin (Count Zeppelin) ruled the uncluttered skies of the late 1920s and early 1930s like no other monarch could. The sight of the sleek, silent ship gliding overhead brought crowds of people streaming from their homes and into the streets. No other aircraft in history has been the focus of so much admiration by so many people.

Since the publication of my President’s message in the December 2008 Trident Visnyk, I have received good news from Ukraine. Valentyna Khudoliy has informed me in a letter that the reorganization at the former Marka Ukrainy is now complete and that the main difference is a change in the name of the Directorate, which was changed to avoid confusion with another commercial venture in Ukraine with a very similar name. Staffing remains the same and the organization is stable with Mrs. Khudoliy continuing at the helm. At her request, I am rescinding my call for letters on her behalf, as they are not needed.
Mrs. Khudoliy indicated that philatelic materials will continue to be available through their website (www.stamp.kiev.ua) and that stamp issues for 2009 are on track and will be issued according to plan.
