Canadian collectors Jane Sodero and Jean Wang shared a lighthearted moment with “Benjamin Franklin” during this week’s Boston 2026 World Expo in Massachusetts.
The pair posed for a photo with Tim O’Connor, who was portraying Franklin — one of the most recognizable figures in American postal history and the first Postmaster General of the United States, appointed in 1775.
