Joe Ross (philatelist)

Joseph L. Ross is a philatelist who has specialised in the revenue stamps of South America. Ross has also been a prolific philatelic author, compiling or updating a large number of revenue stamp catalogues and writing numerous articles in philatelic journals. His catalogue of Uruguay revenues, for instance, is the first since Forbin's world catalogue of 1915 and starts where that one finished.[1]

In 2008, Ross won the Revenue Society Research Medal.[2]

gollark: In my experience, the OOM killer won't activate unless it's absolutely impossible to keep things working (e.g. by swapping ridiculous amounts) without it doing so.
gollark: Some kernel thing imploded and a process which periodically uses `nvidia-smi` to get GPU usage statistics kept creating new `nvidia-smi` processes.
