Frank's stamp: Sinatra can still deliver

sinatrastamp.jpg

Ten years after his death, Hoboken’s very own Frank Sinatra is being commemorated with a new postage stamp. The 42-cent stamp’s release will be celebrated Tuesday in three places close to Sinatra’s heart.

One ceremony takes place at Gotham Hall in New York, New York, where Sinatra’s daughter Nancy and son Frank Jr. will be present at the 10 a.m. dedication.

The two others will be at the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, the city where he famously ran with the Rat Pack, and another will happen across the river, in Sinatra’s hometown of Hoboken, at 3 p.m. at Pier A Park. Frank Jr. will be on hand again. If you go, check out these useful tips for a Sinatra tour of Hoboken.

Kazuhiko Sano designed the stamp, which features Ol’ Blue Eyes with a big smile and iconic fedora hat circa mid 1950s. Sinatra’s signature is scrolled across the bottom.
