Dinner reservations: Call the section answering line at 558-1224 or email cintacs@uc.edu. Include your name with correct spelling, affiliation, and menu choice. Reservations must be received by Monday, April 12, noon. If you have any difficulties, please call Donna Taylor at 558-0979. As a reminder, if you decide you must miss a meeting after you have made reservations, please call to cancel. If not, the section will have to charge you for the dinner because it will be charged for it. Payment will be received at the door. Guests are always welcome; emeritus, unemployed, new, and student members are half price.
Directions: From Downtown or Northern Cincinnati suburbs, take I-71 (or I-75 or I-275) to I-471 south. Approximately six miles from the Ohio River, I-471 highway ends as it merges with U.S. 27. At the second stop light, turn right onto Nunn Drive, the entrance to Northern Kentucky University. Follow Nunn Dr. straight through campus and park in lots G, K, or L. The University Center is across Nunn Dr. from Regent's Hall.

Abstract
Employing a light-hearted anecdotal approach, the development of chemistry will be illustrated using some of the over 3,000 postage stamps that have been issued by more than 200 countries that relate to this topic. Along with the many famous individuals whose likenesses are found on stamps, other scienfitic subjects that have been identified include glassware, sumbols, elements, equations, apparatus, formulas and chemical processes. Some issues contain errors in design that make for "new and interesting" chemistry. Colorful examples of each of these various subjects will be provided using a selection of some 80 stamps.
About the Speaker
David G. Hendrikcker, Professor of Chemistry at Ohio Unviersity, was born in Aurora, Illinois. His undergraduate work was done at Northern Illinois University (which changed its name each of the four years he attended), and his M. S. and Ph. D. are from Iowa State University. He joined the faculty of Ohio University in 1965. In 1972 he held a position as Visiting Scientist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. During 1977, he was a Visiting Professor of Chemistry at Chubu University in Nagoya, Japan. The modification of polymeric material with nitrogen- or phosphorus-containing ligands to afford metal-binding sites is of particular interest to his research group. Since 1985, he has served as Associate Editor of Philatelica Chimica et Physica, an international journal devoted to the study of chemistry and physics on stamps. In additon, he has presented several posters/papers at ACS meetings and published over a dozen articles dealing with science and stamps.
