The following pictures, published here for the first time, were taken by Robert R. Hegland (RA327/Lifetime Member 002) in the summer of 1959 during his 3 day weekend visit with Dr. Carroll Chase at his home in Milford, New Hampshire. Dr. Chase called his good friend Lester Downing to drive up from Boston on Saturday for a visit to meet a new, young 3 Cent collector. Dr. Chase asked Lester to bring a couple of his abums to show his visitor.

As Robert recollects, "He had a small grey house. His desk, which was next to the walk-in safe, was up against a window that was a long as his large desk, evidently so he could have sunlight for his color work. The house was on a hill with no other structures in sight and faced out on a forest that started probably a block away. He plated some stamps for me and talked about the different characteristics of the plates. The visit was certainly one of the highlights of my philatelic life."
