[THE GUEST]

In 2005, I had an opportunity to visit home of Mrs. Lien whose husband is Mr. Khánh, a stamp collector in Hanoi since 1950's. Mr. Khánh is old and often gets sick. His wife had started to sell out his collection. This is the first day cancellation on first day of issue of the weightlifter stamp. The house of this collector is located on Hang Khay street, next to the Hoan Kiem lake, not far from the Bo Ho post office. In the past, collector likes Mr. Khánh used to go to this central post office to take first day cancellation every time there was a new issue of North Vietnam stamp(s).
