			<description><![CDATA[Had a boyhood collection and went back to stamps collecting during Lockdown. Main collections are Romania (as father from Transylvania), Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and German Empire.<br />
Currently Treasurer and Membership Secretary of APS and also member of various other groups as well as being President of the Harrogate Philatelic Society. Would tend to call myself a collector rather than a philatelist.<br />
In my working life I was an accountant primarily in manufacturing (Printing) and then self-employed as a Cost Consultant]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
I originally joined the APS in the 1980’s which helped me build a reasonable Austrian and Specialised Empire collection. In the early 90’s my work situation changed and I set my stamp collecting aside until 2015 by which time I’d retired and health was slowing down my other activities.I have find computers and the internet considerable aid in building ones collection and administrating the collection.<br />
These days I am still into Specialised Austrian Empire but have added Postal history (Cancels) into the content and as a sideline I’m into Empire Cancellations as well.<br />
I’m looking to find others with similar interests to source material and to trade / exchange my surplus. If you share my interest or have any questions re my exhibits (when I post them) feel free to contact me – karel.michielsen@gmail.com<br />
My wife and I live in South Australia in the Adelaide Hills on 2.5 hectares where there is plenty to do, to keep us busy and I find philately a good way to slow me down and keep occupied.]]></description>

<br />
My name is Andrew and I live in Huntersville, North Carolina, USA.  I've been a member since 2020, which is when I first started to get into philately and determined that Austria would be my main area of focus.<br />
<br />
I live with my wife and our two dogs, Ava (boxer-dachshund mix) and Bert (Boston terrier).<br />
<br />
My other hobbies include computers, collecting records and CDs, board games, film photography, and cooking.]]></description>
