So Who is this Dude?

Well, I am not sure, yet.  All I know for sure is that Robert Kreutz died at a young age of 21.  The stamp itself is from Magya Posta.  This is just one stamp from the much larger collection entitled, "So Who are These Dudes?"   Prominently featured picture stamps of someone who merited their face image being put on a stamp....I have enough of these to look up to keep me going till the next time the Patriots play another Playoff Game.  I will update post very soon because I want to learn who this dude is.

UPDATE:  1974 stamp from Hungary commemorating the 30th anniversary of his death....but still, who is he?  One stamp site declares him to be an anti fascist martyr.  I want more.   There stands a placque for him in Memento Park in Budapest. (very interesting read)...but I want more.  Who was he?  How did he die?  Looking further at an image of said placque, in it he is blindfolded....I want to know more!

Robert Kreutz was an ironworker who distributed communist leaflets and also joined the resistance movement against the Germans.  He was executed in 1944.   Just another dying hero.  Now, I know enough.

Speaking about the Patriots, let me say this about that.  Excellence is tough to achieve...in the school office, on the football field or anywhere else.  The quest for excellence ..the chase for excellence...that is the value of it all.  Kraft, Belichik, Brady et al have chased excellence for twelve years running.  I respect that.  They have provided me many hours of excellent viewing and reading pleasure.  I do not need them or any sports team to win the Championship to validate me.  Just allow me to enjoy the chase of excellence from the sidelines.   Beats watching mediocrity every day of the week.

That is why I love the great TMS....chasing education excellence everyday.
