PCE #17 Mailings & Receipts

http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=000130

If you want to let people know when you mail your card for this exchange, you can post this here.

It is not necessary to post that you have received cards, but you are welcome to do so.

My card for this exchange was mailed 6/3/03.

Well John, I guess you won't be late for this one!

All senders, please write PCE17 somewhere in the message of your card.

Sue,

I put PCE #17 on the label for the cards.

Also, I resent the labels this afternoon with the minor updates. They have a file name PCE #17 revised june 03. If you did not get them or cannot open the Word file e-mail me at wheland@optonline.net and I'll do my best to assist you.

If by chance you have already printed your labels or labeled your post cards it's not a big deal . The changes do not affect the addresses for mailing- just some changes to spelling of names.


Dennis

A few people should respond that they have received a person's card so that the sender knows the USPS has done its job. All 25 do not need to respond. It is very, very helpful if you do post that you have sent your cards to alert others. This also helps to quickly identify those cards that may in fact be absorbed by the system (maybe your mail person is starting their own collection . . . .)

Dave

This few person is responding that she received John's card today, thanks! It's a neat view, quite different than the one John got quite recently (no M-16's in sight!)

I carried those cards around the country, intending the mail them when I said I would (did?). I ended up hand-delivering them at the Regional and dropping the remaining ones at a Post Office in Port Huron MI on Monday.

Man I am every prepared for PCEs and Round Robins now! I think I have over 100 new lighthouse post cards on hand!! Whoopee!

Dropped my cards into the mail on my way out of work. And now that I've looked again at the sign up thread for this exchange I see that I'm a bit early. I hope ya'll aren't too upset that I mailed my cards too soon.

John,

I got your card today. It's one that I saw the same way the postcard looks.

I got to Ft Point 2 years ago when in San Francisco visiting my son, Doug.

Thanks,

Dennis

John-- Can you tell what you mean by these CARDS. This is something new to me?

CARDS? Color Photo Post Cards of Lighthouses. Check the link in the first message on this thread. It's an exchange. You participate by sending out a lighthouse post card to 25-27 people and you get 25 cards from the other participants.

Or were you asking something else?

Thanks Joanie for your great card which arrived today.

My trip to my mailbox really "fort"ified my postcard collection today. Thanks John and Joanie

John-Thanks for the info you gave me,It was what I was asking for.Thanks again

Received John's card yesterday. That is quite a view of Fort Point. It is a "must see" the next time we get out to San Francisco.

We've decided that photo on the post card must have been taken from a helicopter. The angle I showed in my photo was taken from the bridge area.

It took no effort at all today to open the mailbox and find Shirin's card. Thanks!

My cards are on their way with the USPS Murphy Mule!!

Received your card today George. No more keeping track huh?

I also received George's no track card today. It's a very nice one even though it has snow on it, lol! Thanks.

Looks like the Mid-Atlantic states got the Mule Delivery today.

I got George's card also.

Dennis

I also received George's card today

Thanks to Roxie for her card which arrived while I was away in her neck of the woods! The poem made it quite special.

My cards for this exchange are going out tomorrow. Everyone gets the same card.

my cards were mailed yesterday,all the same.
Hope you don't have this one
JoAnn

Finished 'fixin up' my cards tonight. Will go in the mail on Saturday.

I've rec'd cards from George, JoAnn, Shirin, John, & Joan. Thanks everyone, the cards are a great start to adding postcards to my lighthouse collection

Uh oh, did I just hear my husband moan 'Not something else!' :rolleyes:

Thanks to JoAnn for her card which arrived Saturday. You just know I love those I.L.'s!!!

Thanks for the postcard JoAnn. I stopped in Victoria last August while I was on an Alaskan cruise.

My sister found that card while we were there and I didn't get one(the store had closed by the time I saw her card). I was trying to get her to give me her's. Now I have my own!

Rec'd 2 cards today!

One from Sue and one from Roxie, that included a quote from Longfellow.

Thank you ladies

I received a card from Melody today that is a companion card to PCE #16. Thanks for both.

I'll be mailing my cards later today.

Charles

I received the companion card from Melody today. Thanks!

Received a card from Charles today. Another new one for the collection. Thanks!

Received a card from Charles today also. Thanks Charles, I did not have this one.

Melody

I received Charles card today but the US Mail was sure rough on it. It was torn and bent.

Thanks anyway for a new card that I haven't seen before.

Mine are in the mail today.
Ruthie

Hi All,
I am visiting my son in Denver (Littleton,CO)
Colorado, but can't wait to see all the new postcards waiting for me when I return home. Hope you all are having a great summer.
We are having a super visit with our son and his wife and our grandson. Rode up to the top of Pike's Peak on the Cog Railray. And, drove to the highest point in the Rocky Mountain National Park.

Since I am such a novice when it comes to computers, my son and grandson have been trying to enlighten me a little.
My son helped me update my Windows 98 on my laptop which hadn't been updated in 5 yrs. But, I don't use it that often. My grandson, Jonathan helped me add a picture to my name on my post message. I hope it appears when I send this post.

Until the next time, Regards to all
JoanieO

I just got done plowing through my mail of the last 3 weeks and found the following postcards-

MELJB's, C. Bernth's, J. Dawley, Mombo and Carol Z.

Thanks for making my mail more than just junk and bills!

Dennis

Thanks for your card Ruthie! Good thing I have a couple of get out of jail free cards!

Rec'd in the mail today, cards from Ruthie and Carol Z. Thank you kindly ladies.

Melody

While I was in San Diego, I received 2 new cards from Ruthie and Carol Z.

I have to also give a big THANKS to Charles. He was so nice to send me a new South Bass, Ohio card after mine got torn in the mail. He even put it in and envelope so it wouldn't have a chance to be torn again.

There sure are lots of nice people on the collector forums.

Received Carol's card a few days ago. Thanks!

I'll be mailing out my cards for this exchange tomorrow.

Some may be a bit confused by the way they arrive. It's explained .

Dennis

Dennis,
Thanks for the great postcards of the lighthouse stamps. I plan to put them in my scrapbook along with the actual stamps. PERFECT!!
Someday I hope to get to Kileau. Have been to Hawaii but not since we've caught the ligthhouse virus. We need to make plans soon, though.
Thanks again!

Mine arrived today. Thanks a bunch Dennis!

Thanks for the nice bonus packet Dennis.

I know I didn't follow the "rules" on this exchange- but I couldn't resist them when I saw them.

Dennis

Great surprise Dennis! I hope the Saint of Postcards is lenient? lol Very nice package.
Thanks,
Bob

Wow! Dennis, what a treat! Thanks so much. A terrific addition to the collection!

A good point to ponder, Bob. When I read everyones posts it becomes readily apparent that Dennis has mailed a tradtional card exchange entry in an envelope. While I consider appropriate punishment for this violation I am willing to accept bribes . . .

Dave,

Appropriate bribes- I mean evidence of infraction- are on the way to you.

At least they will be when the mailman comes this afternoon.

Dennis

Dennis, a very pleasant surprise arrived today. THANKS ! Although I have the lights, I didn't have any of the cards. A nice addition to my collection. You're not trying to get my vote as Gov Of California are you??? (LOL)

George,

I wouldn't want to take any votes away from Gary Coleman.

Dennis

Thanks so much Dennis, I rec'd your special package today. I don't care what Dave says about you, you're all right in my book lol.

Seriously, this was a very thoughtful of you!

Melody

Continued in Part II .

Mel, I didn't say anything bad about Dennis, just that I was considering an appropriate punishment for his deviation from the rules. However, given Dennis' last post, I think the issue is resolved (tic).

Dave
