This is a continuation of the PCE 22 original thread . Please post your notices of mailing and receipt of folks post cards in this thread. PCE 22 is the In Envelope exchange and runs thru November 15.

Bob,

Both PCE 22 and 23 were in my mail box today! So I guess they traveled together all the way.

The US Postal Service wasn't so kind to the in-envelope though. You clearly have a sticker on it that says "Please Do Not Bend" "Please Hand Cancel", But you can tell that the envelope got cought up in one of their machines. It was riped all to h-ll and back! I truly don't know how your swizzel stayed with it all the way, as it was half out of the envelope. But it did make it! Broke, but repairable with a little superglue. :rolleyes:

Thank You! I really like it.

Yikes! Bob is in the same state as me but I still haven't received his envelope yet, while it has reached some out-of-state folks. And nearby Mombo in Phoenix, NY already got hers a few days ago. Oh well, maybe the incoming rains from Francis will float it into my mailbox soon.

Screwed in Syracuse,

Bill E.

We received Bob's postcard in the mail Saturday. The Postal Service did a real number on it. Three quarters of the back of the envelope was completely torn away. The flyer and postcard were in tact, but no swizzle(?). At least our address was still there. Maybe the sticker with "Please Do Not Bend - Please Hand Cancel" made them angry.
Thanks Bob for another new card for our collection.

My envelope arrived from Bob today. The card was bent slightly. However, the swizzle arrived in one piece. My envelope doesn't appear to have been canceled by hand or machine. Thanks for the fun extra!! Tammy

So far 'Good News' and 'Bad News' is 50/50. Those of you who got it 'intact' - Great! Those that didn't? %^&(@%#% I tried. Bubble wrap, message to USPS, wrapped in flyer, postcard for stiffness.
Bob

Bob, what you failed to take into account was that the USPS took all those things as a challenge. . . . . . .

Bob my envelope came in today without a problem. Nothing broken or missing. It came in so clean that the USPS didn't even cancel the stamps.

Well it only took a full week for Bob's envelope to travel to me across the state. Unfortunately it came in the USPS "oops" envelope. The original had a hole in it similar to the Titanic's. The stick was not in one piece, but the lighthouse was saved. The postcard had a few dents & dings in it, but is in one piece. They did hand cancel it, but must have been caught in their sorter.

REGARDLESS, BOTH ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED... THANKS!

Hi Bob, mine arrived in one piece with no problems. Thanks for the little extras.

Bob your envelope looked like it went thru all 3 hurricanes.card was bent and swizzle stick broken,but it was the great thought that counts,oh yes received on the 17th.
Thanks,JoAnn

Hello,

I mailed my postcards for this exchange. Everyone is getting the same card.

Thanks to all for the postcards I've received so far in this exchange. They've all been new to my collection.

tammy

And, strangely enough, Tammy's card showed up today. Wonderful card and write up and extra. Thanks!

What a great package Tammy. Thanks so much.

Received Tammy's envelope in today's mail. A new card to our collection and aalso some gorgeous photos that she took of the same light. Muchas gracias senora,

Dan

Tammy's card arrived today as did Shirin's.
Both were very nicely done. I am just so jealous of you folks who can put such nice packages together. I really appreciate all the time and effort it takes to do such quality jobs.

What a creative way to send your card Tammy. I love seeing such a remote lighthouse from your fly over. This is a new one for me. Thanks!

Received Shirin's card and great write up today. We are doing very well with what people are sharing in this exchange!

Thanks for the nice card and pics Shirin. Sure wish I could have gone out to the Vineyard again. The only time I was ever there was during Hurricane NELL. I'm envious.

Ron

Also received Shirin's card and very nice write-up with photos inserted. The card is very pretty and new to our collection. Thanks,

Dan

Most of my cards went into the mail today.

Charles, Larry R., Larry N. & family, Ron, and Roxie. I am sorry you 5 will have to wait just a little longer. I am including a little gift with my cards but the store ran out leaveing me 5 short. I will put your cards in the mail just as soon as I can get 5 more gifts.

Stephanie

Hi Steph,

Got your card (new to our collection) and extras in today's mail. Carol will love the planning calendar that was included. Thanks and maybe we'll see you at Cedar Keys if you're going to be there. Thanks,

Dan

Thanks to Shirin and Stephanie for some nice cards and enclosures.

Gee, I can't beleave how fast the US Postal Service worked this time. My cards already recieved in MI and UT!!! Mailed on the 5th and recieved on the 8th! That's GREAT!!!!

I just went through a stack of mail from last Friday. Shirin and Stephanie, thanks much for your contributions to this exchange. Very nice!

Oh, I got another postcard from John Gaskill. It seems like I get something in about 50% of the exchanges. I think he wrote this time because he wanted to tell me that he'd spent time in Washington. It's always a pleasant surprise to hear from him.

Stephanie your envelope arrived yesterday. Great card and lovely "gifts". Thanks!

We received a postcard and don't know who sent it. It is a new blank card, so it was sent in an envelope. We don't have the envelope, so don't know the sender. I'm guessing it was this exchange, but could be wrong.
The post card is of Morgan Point Light, "Lighthouse at Noank, Connecticut". Can anyone help?

Stephanie,
Received your card and "extra". Thanks!

Tom & Joyce...I received the Morgan Point, CT card from Ron & MJ Foster in PCE #20 (in the envelope). My card arrived on May 15, 2004. I hope this helps.

Thanks Lorie! Wow, didn't think I was that far behind on posting to the spreadsheet.

3 of the belated 5 are going in the mail tomarrow. Larry Nohe, Ron Foster and Charles Bernth your cards are on the way. Different extra then everybody esle, but the card is the same.

Larry Radloff and Roxie, I'm sorry but you will have to wait just a little longer. :rolleyes: You will get the same extra as above, but I don't have envelopes to put them in right now! They should be in the mail by Tuesday!

Thanks for waiting!

Tom & Joyce, did you get the two-page insert that I sent with the Morgan Point card? They showed images of Kim inside the Morgan Point lighthouse as well as exterior shots of Morgan Point and Mystic Seaport light along with some text. If you didn't get (or save) them I would be happy to send them again.

Ron
(CT Keeper)

Ron, we did receive the two-page insert with pictures of Morgan Point (with Kim) and Mystic Seaport. Very professional layout with fantastic pictures. I separate the postcards from the inserts when they arrive and put a post-it-note on the postcard with the senders name amd PCE #. Apparently I didn't do this with the Morgan Point postcard. I file the inserts in a separate file. When I came up with the unmatched Morgan Point postcard, didn't think to check the inserts file. Thanks for asking.

My postcards went into the mailbox today. They should be on their way on Monday morning.

Got Suzanne's card in today's mail. Carol and I have visited the light depicted on the card but did not have a postcard of it. Thanks, Pres.

Dan

My cards are ready to go, just need the stamps which I'll get tomorrow at the P.O. so they should go out tomorrow. Everyone gets the same card.

Neat card Suzanne, thanks!

Thanks Sue. Received your card and narrative today. It's another new card for our collection.

Received Sue's card on the 6th. A very nice card and was new to our collection. Thanks,

Dan

Our postcards went in the mail today. Everyone gets the same postcard.

My cards were mailed today-same card for all
I hope this is a new view of a familiar light,
it was new to me!

JOANN

Received cards from JoAnn and the Pixie today. JoAnn's card does present a view of the light you don't normally see. Pixie's card also one I have not seen before, but lights everyone will recognize.

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!

Derith's card arrived yesterday and JoAnn's today. Both real nice, thanks!

I will get my cards mailed out on Monday.

The Abbott's very cool card arrived with yesterday's mail. Looks like someone took a trip away from the US to get some unique cards and pictures.

Thanks Joann and Derith. Received your postcards Friday.

A little slow in posting but thanks to Mombo, Tom & Joyce, Derith, & JoAnn. All were great cards.

We're at 50 posts, so I am going to close this thread and continue it here .
