There exist in this world some people who are not famous or even well known beyond their immediate circle of acquaintances, who nevertheless have a great impact on those with whom they come in contact. Mr G is such a person.
This man was a teacher. He had the ability to impart knowledge, and at the same time draw out the best in his students. Where confidence was lacking, he was able to help a child to see their own self worth, assist them in making each endeavour seem worthwhile and to want to strive to achieve a goal. Small successes became the steps which led the way to a better future. This is the person I would wish to see remembered on a stamp.
Thank you, Mr G.

I have changed 'thankyou' to the 2 word form, as that is widely used. However thankyou (1 word) is an old British English variant. It isn't incorrrect.

thankyou

1.Alternative spelling of thank-you.
Interjection thankyou!

1.Alternative spelling of thank you.
