Thank you for visiting my page at Angelfire. Please come back and visit again! Page created December 25, 1998 at 9:25 AM. It has been updated on April 10, 2010. This page is ALWAYS Under Construction.

This is a complete photo catalog of all Hogg Cacheted First Day Covers produced for US Stamps by James Hogg. As those who know me well know, I have been a stamp collector for years specializing in US first day covers. I also have my own line of cachets that I have produced over the years for various US stamp issues. If you have any questions, or need to acquire some of these covers, please contact me. Unfortunately, many of these illustrated covers are sold out and no longer available.
This photo showcase is here to aid first day cover collectors in identifying Hogg Cacheted FDCs for their collections. NOTE: I have a special page devoted specially to my FDCs and that is accessible by clicking here. Updated January 24, 2009. On this page, you will find a complete illustrated history of Hogg Cachets.
Those of you who know me personally know that I always enjoy great food and that I seek out great places to eat. Well, I've decided to place my world class finds here for you to try out and enjoy. Click here for my HONOR ROLL of world class places to eat. Updated August 1, 2008.

I am the senior PDDGM of this lodge and I maintain a special website for their benefit. This lodge is currently one of the most successful lodges in the State of Florida with a young and dynamic leadership. Our Lodge’s membership is growing and our members are enthusiastic about Freemasonry. Additionally, every month, I hold a special “Masonic Enlightenment” session at the lodge where I teach and discuss the symbolism and what the three degrees of Freemasonry mean. All Masons belonging to a regular lodge whose grand lodge is recognized by "The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Florida" are welcome.

This lodge is on the cutting edge of Freemasonry internationally and is a regularly constituted lodge by the United Grand Lodge of England. I have been a member since 1998 and served two years as one of the lodge Stewards some years back. Our membership is international in character and we utilize the internet to advance and promote Freemasonry worldwide.
