Paul Calle, Postage Stamp Designer, Is Dead at 82
By MARGALIT FOX
The cause was melanoma, said his son Chris, who is also a stamp designer.
A longtime Stamford resident, Mr. Calle (pronounced KAL-ee) designed more than 40 United States stamps, licked by generations of postwar Americans. He was best known for the 10-cent stamp, commissioned by NASA and issued in 1969, commemorating the Apollo (showing 500 of 6127 characters). |
