Philatelic Society of Lancaster County member and friend Ron Breznay spoke on the USS Wilkes-Barre
He shared covers from U.S. Navy ships that are named after places in the Wilkes-Barre area. Ron was born in Wilkes-Barre and lived in one suburb or another for most of his life. He became interested in these naval covers after he did an eBay search for Wilkes-Barre items and came across a USS Wilkes-Barre cover.
He then started adding USS Pennsylvania covers and became inspired to look into just how many ships are named after local places, such as the Susquehanna River and the Appalachian Mountains. His presentation shows not only covers, but also photos of the ships and gives information about the ships.
