Dear Friends,

In a different thread http://www.heraldrysociety.us/forums/showthread.php?t=79 Fr. Guy Selvester posted the coat of arms of Pope Benedict XVI very well drawn by Marco Foppoli (website at http://www.marcofoppoli.com/).

I’m happy to inform that at the XXVII International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences (St. Andrews University, in Scotland, August 21 to 26) Marco became Academician of the International Academy of Heraldry (before he was an associated member). Ciao!

Guido

Congratulations to Marco—he is truly outstanding in his field.

Would it be proper for our esteemed Society President or VP to send a letter of congratulations?  Mike, Fr. Guy??
