Gregory “Scott” Ward (1962-2019) was a member of the American Philatelic Society and in Missouri, he was actively involved in the Kingdom and Columbia Philatelic Societies. He was awarded for work that he loved as a mentor to young people, providing guidance and support to youth stamp clubs throughout mid-Missouri.

Scott was the Youth Chairman for the St. Louis Stamp Expo for more than a decade, organizing amazing volunteers and resources to provide an activity room for kids during this annual event.

Scott’s award winning exhibit of “1913 United States Parcel Post stamps” participated in the American Philatelic Society’s Champion of Champions competition and The George Brett Cup Competition sponsored by the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors. This is a “by invitation” exhibition of top-level 20th century philatelic exhibits.
