An interesting group of twelve Nicaraguan stamps issued
to commemorate the Nicaragua Military Academy (NMA) also depicts various

Kentucky, class of 1907, the second superintendent of the NMA; Charles
Love Mullins, Jr.
of Nebraska, class
of April 1917, the founder of the NMA and its first superintendent.
We are actively seeking additional information
regarding General Mullins and his wife.
