Harvey Ball's Son recalls a moment when the historical aspect of his father’s design really hit home. “15 years ago in Worcester, when he was still alive, the US Postal Service unveiled a Smiley face postage stamp, and I think that was a moment where he really realized what his legacy was and what it had meant to so many people.”

At first I smiled then it turned upside down when I looked at the price on the stamp. That's just mean considering the rising cost of postage. LOL
