Hardbopjazz Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Nearly half way there. 248 of the 500 needed. Sign the petition to get Dizzy on a stamp. https://www.change.org/p/united-states-postal-service-approve-a-u-s-postage-stamp-for-jazz-great-dizzy-gillespie?recruiter=308579453&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_page&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-custom_msg&fb_ref=Default Edited June 2, 2015 by Hardbopjazz Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 I have had a couple of days where I would stamp on Dizzy myself. Quote
sonnymax Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 It's up to 286. C'mon folks, this is a no-brainer! Quote
Larry Kart Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 Remember Ralph J. Gleason's idea-proposal (in 1964, I think it was) to have Dizzy run for president? Dizzy's cabinet proposals included IIRC posts for both Mingus (Secretary of Defense) and Miles (CIA director), and Peggy Lee was his choice for Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare "because she always treats her musicians great."

Rooster_Ties Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 Gosh, I'd forgotten all about the Diz for President stuff, and had never seen either of those pics. Thanks to all for posting them! Quote
