way of determining who they are.  I thought I could narrow it down if I can
determine where the postage stamp was issued.  The stamp is 3.5 cm square. 
The denomination is 44 (air mail).  The stamp has 4 panels which look like
water colors of educational scenes.  The text is "Millenniun 1999/22" and
"Right to learn/A Drummond".

Rodney,

By international agreement (Universal Postal Union) the only country that
has the right to issue postage stamps without imprinting its name on them
is the United Kingdom. There should be a small silhouette of the Queen
somewhere on the stamp, however. Look for it - it can get kind of lost in
the overall design.
