Suggested Designs for U. S. Postage Stamps Honoring Jerry Garcia
![[Jerry Stamps]](http://swansonphotos.com/pics/jgstamp1.jpg)
The United States postal service can certainly issue stamps honoring Jerry. You remember stamps? You know, on an envelope? Some other countries are already jumping on the bandwagon, but for the most part, those countries don't even exist. The stamps currently on the market are mostly the fantasy output of a printing company that wants to separate you from your money! Anyway, time to vote on the young Jerry vs. old Jerry stamp designs! Don't e-mail to me (please!), but feel free to post your votes on rec.music.gdead. Here are my humble suggestions:
Uncle Sam hat (a classic)
Old Jerry
Young Jerry

And while we're at it, what has become of the plan to erect a statue near Lotta's Fountain in San Francisco? You know, the one larger than life, with Jerry hunched down in his classic pose, playing like crazy? The statue that would have continuous Grateful Dead music playing (at a respectful volume), of course. Well, let's gather up those nickles and dimes and build up the fund for this statue! Wadda ya wait'n for?
