Keys to
Exhibiting - Janet Klug and Ann Triggle
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.
Ann
Triggle has
been living on the United States/Canadian border for over
thirty years.
Ann
is the former Chairman of the very active APS Committee for the
Accreditation of Exhibitions and Judges in the United States.
Currently she also serves on the Board of the Royal Philatelic
Society of Canada as a Director-at-Large and is active in philately
in Canada. This gives her a unique
opportunity
to understand and work for the philately of both countries. She
is also an active member or officer of a number of philatelic
organizations both in North America and in Great Britain. Ann is an accredited philatelic judge, exhibitor and seminar speaker
at local, regional, and national levels (for both ATA and APS).
She is also accredited to judge both postal history and thematics
at the International (FIP) level.
She
is married with a son and daughter, and her family is very supportive
of her hobby. She retired two years ago from a position as a faculty
member in the School of Pharmacy at the State University of New
York at Buffalo. So she is active now in the stamp societies of
both Buffalo and Sarasota, Florida.
