This is a continuation of the thread for news of mailing and receiving cards in PCE 23, out-of-envelope. Please do post a note here when you mail your cards.

The original thread can be found here .

Lorie,

Do you and John live up on top of one of the Wasatches where it takes the USPS three weeks to scale the mountain? Might have to float your mail up to you on a SkyBound!!?? :p

Are you sure it was the LS Portmouth and not the LS Chesapeake??

Dan

Dan it is definately the Portsmouth. Even your write-up is about the Portsmouth! I'm glad you sent that card because I already have a Chesapeake Lightship card but this one is new.

Lorie,

Senility has set in .... I hope it's not a terminal case!

Dan

In the mail - PM.
Let's see which one arrives first - Envelope or NoEnvelope?

Received LI Bob's card today. What a surprise which light he chose . . . . . (anyone who knows Bob knows which light I refer to).

Yes, somehow I wasn't too surprised with Bob's choice of card! It's a real nice one, thanks!

I received Bob Scroope's out of envelope card on Saturday! Nice card!

Received LI Bob's card in yesterday's mail. A beautiful card of a beautiful light. Makes me want to go to the Long Island Lighthouse Challenge next year.

Thanks Bob

My postcards went into the mailbox today. Everyone gets the same card.

Received Suzanne's card today .... pretty lighthouse and a new card to our collection. Can't wait to see it up close next year.

Dan

Your super card arrived Friday, Suzanne. Thanks!

Your card made it to Utah Suzanne. I hope Dan is correct in that we will get to see this light at next years reunion. It has always been a favorite of mine.

Suzanne,
Thanks for another great card!

Our cards are ready and will go in the mail tomorrow. Everyone gets the same card.

Received a very cool card from the Abbotts today. Definitely one not previously used! I just wish the post office would clean its machinery every once in a while so it didn't leave streaks down the front of the card.

Thanks for a neat new card from Tom & Joyce. How did you get these cards to send?

A very nice card Tom & Joyce. Unfortunately, the Post Monster (NOT "Master") chewed up the bottom left lighthouse and text. I particularly like the red and green roofs on the lanter rooms of the third image down on the right.

Sorry Dave, how bad are the streaks?


Lorie, we cheated. Tom's sister had been living in Germany. She picked up the cards for us.


Ron, as you received the most severely damaged card, we will send another one. This time it will be in an envelope. We have an extra one. I hope yours is the only one chewed up. Tom's sister is no longer in Europe, so we've lost our source.


Usually I mail the cards at the downtown Dallas post office. This time I mailed them at the local Desoto post office. Guess I'll pay them a visit tomorrow.

Great card Tom and Joyce! Thanks to you both, also to Tom's sister!

my cards were mailed today,hopefully this is a new card for everyone.

JoAnn

I've been out-of-town for the last few days. But Tom & Joyce Abbott's card was waiting for me when I returned. Thanks, I love it!

I received JoAnn's postcard today. I have been to this lighthouse and love visiting the area.

Thanks Joann.

Had been out of town for a couple weeks and when I went through my mail yesterday I did find a very nice card from Tom & Joyce. Carol & I hope that your "hope to visit the many lighthouses on this island" comes to fruition.

Dan

Received two cards in today's mail .... one from JoAnn & one from George. Both cards are new to our collection. Trying to figure out what light is shown on George's card ....

Dan

I also received George's card yesterday. Dan...Cork Co. is in Ireland. I hope to see this light on my trip for next July.

Thanks George!

Received cards from George and JoAnn yesterday. My card from George was definitely not of an Irish lighthouse so I don't think he sent the same card to all of us.

Thanks to you both!

Tom & Joyce, Thank You very much for the replacement card, which arrived yesterday.

Ron
(CT Keeper)

Just finished up my cards for this exchange and they'll go out tomorrow. Everyone gets a card of the the same lighthouse but a few of the cards are different from the others.

Thanks JoAnn and George. Received your cards Saturday. JoAnn's card is a new one to our collection.

I hope I'm not the last to send out my cards. I was hoping to find unique cards in Italy of the lighthouse on the Island of Murano but there were none available. I guess Italy isn't as crazy about their lighthouses as we are.
Most of the cards I sent out were all the same. Enjoy!

Received JoAnn's very cool card. Lots of neat cards this exchange. Still more to go, so if you haven't mailed yours yet we will be looking forward to them.

Got Mombo's card today. Very nice and new to our collection. Thanks Sue.

Dan

CarolZ you postcard arrived safe and sound in Utah. Thanks. I plan on seeing that light in January.

Got a liitle behind in my posts .... did receive CarolZ's card on the 6th and the card is new to our collection. Thanks,

Dan

Just got home from a wonderful Cruise to the Bahamas, and found my mailbox full. Many great lighthouse cards, 4 for PCE 22 and 4 for PCE 23 and even one from John Gaskill with a letter inviting me to come over to Gulfport for a visit, and 2 cards from Greg (seagirt) from his trip to Mass.

All the cards are new to my collection. Thanks!

Postcards went in the mail today.

Received the Pixie's card for this exchange. A new card for me, and a light I don't believe has been featured in the exchanges previously.

Dave, I checked and found that I've received two other cards of this lighthouse but not the one Derith sent. Funny when you look back. Some of the cards don't look familiar at all. Kind of like seeing them again for the first time, neat!

Thanks Derith, we received your postcard Friday.

Hi Darlene,

Received your card in today's mail. thanks for the very pretty card which, by the way, is new to our collection.

Dan

I received your card today Darlene. I have stood right where the picture was taken while waiting for the ferry. Thanks!

Just when I was beginning to think my card was lost in the mail...my card arrived from Derith. Thanks Derith. I haven't been back to that area since the 1998 HL Reunion.

My cards for this exchange were mailed out on Tuesday.

Cards from Judy and Doc John arrived in today's mail. Both were nice cards although we already had one of the two. Oh well, that happens ....

Dan

Got both PCEs from Doc today. Carolina on his mind. Nice cards Doc, and extras. Never saw the CH you sent. Very cool! And a LH stamp on the envelope pce.
thanks,
Bob

Who has not yet mailed thier cards?

I thought that I had been doing a good job of marking the names off my list as the cards came in. But maybe I haven't done so good after all. I am still showing 7 names in PCE 23 that I don't have cards from. Did I miss marking someones name off the list, or are there realy 7 cards yet to come???

I seem to have gotten confused with so many of us in both PCE 23 and 22 at the same time. I look at the names I show left on my two lists and I know that I got a card from that person. But did I get only one card from them or two?

Stephanie,
Checked our list for both exchanges, 22 and 23.

We are missing 6 in PCE 23 and 4 in PCE 22.

Hope this helps.

I just got back in town tonight and had cards in the mail from Judy and Doc John. Thanks to both of you.

Tom & Joyce...I am missing 5 on PCE #22 (in the envelope)and still missing 6 in PCE #23 (no envelope)

4 of the missing people are the same on both lists

Received Doc John's card today - 6 days after it was mailed and 3 days after I received the envelope from him mailed at the same time. Just gotta love the USPS, and now they want to be rewarded for their non-performance by getting another major postage increase.

The redeeming factor in this is, of course, John's great card. Love that view.

I got Doc Johns card yesterday too. I love the new view of Hatteras. Thanks John!

Finally sent the card for PCE#23 in yesterday's mail. Thank you to all for the wonderful cards I have received to date.

Hi everyone,

I did not forget the exchange, actually hoped to have the cards done over the last weekend. Now I'm shooting for Thursday, my next day off. I know I have received some wonderful cards this exchange.

Thanks to all,
Donna
