The July-August 2013 edition of Smithsonian magazine features on page 10 the September 22nd opening of the new William H. Gross Stamp Gallery at the National Postal Musuem.  The opening exhibition, "Gems of Amercian Philately" will include items lent by the gallery's namesake donor, Bill Gross, including a block of the famous "Inverted Jenny" stamps of 1918.
