Keys to Exhibiting - Janet Klug

Janet Klug is from Pleasant Plain, Ohio (near Cincinnati) and is a member of the Clermont County Stamp Club and the Indiana Stamp Club. Janet began collecting stamps as a child and has been involved to varying degrees ever since. Fortunately, her husband of 34 years is very supportive of her involvement in the hobby. Janet has worked as a manager of data processing and computer departments for several large corporations in both Ohio and California. Drawing on her past computer experience, she is volunteer webmaster for several philatelic organizations.

She is an active member of her local stamp club and served as that club's first president and edited its bimonthly newsletter for eight years. Janet writes monthly columns for beginner and intermediate collectors in The American Philatelist, and regular columns in Linn's and Scott Stamp Monthly.

Janet began exhibiting 25 years ago with an exhibit on Tonga's Tin Can Mail that she showed at a local club show and received a Bronze medal. It was enough encouragement for her to continue showing and developing that and many other exhibits (some of which have since been broken up and sold). She is currently working on a new exhibit about the Australian forces who occupied Japan after World War II, and several "just for fun" noncompetitive single frame exhibits.

Janet has held a variety of offices in a number of philatelic organizations. She is currently Past President of the American Philatelic Society and was formerly Chairman of the APS Committee on the Accreditation of National Exhibitions and Judges.
