My Art in the Time of a Pandemic

Traveling through my stamp collection during lock-down.

I am swell.  Wish you were here. 4/22/2020  by Suzanne Coley

Today's stamp is a discus thrower in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, USA.  The stamp was issued by the People's Republic of Kampuchea.

In April 1980 the first set of postage stamps was issued after the establishment of the People's Republic of Kampuchea.  In 1989, the name of "People's Republic of Kampuchea" was changed to the State of Cambodia.  So much history in stamps!
