Continued from part 1 .

In recent days I have received cards from Bob and Joanie. Carol's was delivered by the USPS in a body bag, having been significantly modified by their equipment. Great cards, all.

My cards will go in the mail tomorrow. Everyone gets the same. It will be a new card to everyone's PCE collection, though some have seen it.....

Man oh Man, was my mail package full this week!
Lots of Lighthouse Postcards!!!

Received cards from; Judy, Carol, Stan & Margret, Greg, Bob Scroope, and Iris this week.

Some very nice cards too! Thank you all!!

Card from Steph yesterday, Suzanne today. More excellent cards to add to my collection. Suzanne's is an especially interesting picture.

Syephanie's card arrived yesterday. Thanks Steph.

Charles

Suzanne's arrived today. Neat card! Cool story, too...I'm sure that we could make some Arthur Anderson jokes here, but I can't figure one out. :rolleyes:

Have received some great cards from Carol, Joanie, Steph and today Suzanne! Thanks to all!

I received Shortcakes postcard yesterday - just 4 days from the States to Germany - not bad! Thank you Shortcake :-)

Received Suzanne's "Two Harbours" today! Thank you Suzanne. The card made me dream again! I so would love to take a camper and go round the lakes and see all those wonderful lights. That is one of my dreams and who knows maybe some day...

Suzanne's arrived here somewhat worse for wear thanks to USPS. Oy-va
Charles

Once more again - I love this game - two new postcards today - thanks to Suzanne Murphy and Carol Z.
Carol, did you choose this postcard specially for me? It has Iris-flowers in front of the lighthouse :-)
Suzannes postcard is very romantic with the moon
- thank you to both of you, I like your cards very much.

Got Dave's card today. Another nice one! Did you take that photo (your name was in the copyright)? Where do people get these custom-made PCs?

just received shortcake's card! Thank you very much! I am really enjoying all these cards of the lovely lights!

Seems like our mail is very slow though!

Oooohhhh ... two cards and a letter.... Wow ...

Dave's Waugoshance Shoal Lighthouse is a new one for us and just great for the collection!

And Carol's Moosepeak Lighthouse is brilliant too!

Thank you both!!

Dave's card arrived yesterday. Pretty unique!
Thanks Dave
Charles

Mail package came today. Two for PCE 27 (Suzanne and Joan) and one for PCE 24. All great cards!

Thanks!

Daves card came today - thanks Dave. I wonder why Seagirt wonders, how you got the card printed - I wonder how you got there where you took the photo for the card - what is your occupation Dave? Pilot?

The post card I used is one of the 11 I had printed for the recent Collectors Reunion (using pictures taken by Mike Kaiser, Paul Brady and me). The picture was taken during a fly over of the western Straits lights I did in May 2005. I will start a separate thread to talk about the production.

Onother one for our collection... Judy's card of the Lights of Western Superior woke up my dream again... Maybe some day I'll get to see some of these. In the mean time these cards a great!
Thank you!!!

Judy, your card came on Friday - a very beautiful one - thank you very much.

Thanks to Dave who's card arrived a couple days ago, very nice!

Today we came back from Germany and the card from Bob K. was waiting for us. Thanks Bob - always great to discover "new" lighthouses ...

All our cards went in the mail today. Everyone gets the same card.

I did receive Lorie's card today - mail seems to be slowing down. Usually only 2-3 days for mail from her to arrive. Neat card, but sounded like a lot of blarney to me....

Arrived here in NJ today, too, with USPS giving me the wonderful surprise of making the one area where the ink gets blurred right over the lighthouse.

It seems interesting that it arrived in NJ and IN the same day, if there was that much of a delay. Dave, is yours postmarked 17 October, too?

Otherwise, though, a great card! I always love foreign cards, especially those with Great Britannic origin. The Titanic reference on the back of the card was cool, too, myself being a liner nut.

I received Lorie's card today too.

Lorie's card arrived here much abused by the USPS. Thanks Lorie.

Me too, USPS left bad track right across the lh.
Neat lh Lorie.

Lori's card also arrived here damaged. Looks like there's a big white cloud covering the top two thirds of the lighthouse. Actually the ink was rubbed off. But, it's a new card for our collection. Thanks Lori.

What a bummer so many cards were damaged.

I'll try to make it up to everyone with the cards in the envelope. I am working on them and hope to get them out this week.

Hi Lori,

your card was in my mailboy this morning - and it was NOT damaged. What a long way the card took - first from Europe to the States and now back again to Europe - thank you very much, I joined it much.

My card from Lorie wasn't bad, only a slight bit of cancellation showing on the front, and not on the lighthouse itself. Did anyone else notice the postmark? Not the traditional circle job but printing across the top of the backside of the card. Maybe this new cancelling machine is what made such a mess of so many cards?

At the beginning of my participation in the exchanges I took a batch to the local P.O. and asked if they could be hand cancelled. I was told that they could but that the main office would just put them through their machine anyway...

Got the card from Lorie today! Nice one! No damage! Well travelled card Thank you very much!

I had JoAnns in my postbox this morning. Thank you JoAnn, I love this lighthouses, which can only be viewed from the riversides.

Another new lighthouse in our collection!
Thank you JoAnn, your card came today!

Mailed my cards today except I obviously mailed Margaret's and Iris's cards earlier,didn't want them to wait longer than the rest.I didn't realize international mail would be so fast!

JoAnn

Mailed out my post cards today.

My cards will be going out tomorrow.

JoAnn...I received your card today. It's nice to get some new cards from the west. Thanks!

Received very nice cards from Darleen and JoAnn yesterday. Thanks to you both!

Darlene's postcard arrived yesterday. Thanks.

Our cards went in the mail today. We apologize to all for not acknowledging receipt of all the new cards we’ve received so far. So thank you Iris K., Greg F., Stan & Margret, Carol Z. Joan O., Lorie R., Bob S., Stephanie D., Suzanne M., Dave H., Judy R., Darlene C., and JoAnn D.
We’ll try to do better in the next exchange.

Three cards today! I sifted through the post and kept pulling them out!

Mombo...great card, a favourite light. Great message, too!

JoAnn - Neat light! Strangely, I have a card that looks the same (design-wise) from Fort Pickering, MA. If I remember, it was a regionally-produced card, which makes yours from across the country kind of interesting. I'll have to dig it out and check it out.

Darlene - One of my favourite WA lights (though I do love all those cool octagonal towers). Came through a little worse for wear...creased, bent, and worn...LOVE the USPS!

Is this it? If so, thanks to everyone who sent cards (can't remember them all)! This has been (is) a great exchange!

Ladybug, your card came today - thank you! Have fun and good luck for your celebrations in 2006!

Thanks to JoAnn, Darlene & Sue for your fine cards.
I will be sending out my cards for this PC in todays mail

Charles

Post office never fails to amaze - they get the mail delivered quickly one time then the next time they send it via foot messenger. Received cards from Darlene and Mombo today. Both great cards, thanks.

Two cards in our letter box today!
Ladybug and Mombo ...
Many thanks to both of you for showing us some new lights for our collection!
Every time one of those lovely cards drops in our letterbox I am glad we joined the PCE's

I'm amazed at how fast International mail is these days. I remember when it took at least a week. My cards didn't go out until last Saturday as Friday was a holiday. So including Sunday it made it to Margret and Stan in 4 days!

Received the card from Mombo today - thank you very much. How funny to see a Danish freighter on your card, which comes from the States and Denmark ist so close to where we live.

I received a nice card from Sue yesterday. Thanks!

Received card from the Abbotts today.

Got Tom and Joyce's today, too...neat card! With all the Reunion cards, it makes me keep regretting I didn't go....but I should be there for the VA trip next year!

How many more are left?

Have received cards from Tom & Joyce and today from Charles. Thanks to both!

This morning I had letters from Tom & Joyce and Dave - thank you to all of you, I joined this PCE very much.

Thanks to the Abbott's, your card arrived yesterday

Charles

Received card from Charles today - thanks. Is a new view of that light.

Today we received a card from Tom & Joyce! Thank you very much!

Thanks so very much. Have received a total of 16 so far. All different and welcomed.

JoanieO

I'm sorry that I haven't gotten my cards out yet... hopefully by next week. We've had some family illness and time was spent at the hospital.

Thanks for understanding.

Patty

No problem, Patty.

I received Roy and Carolyn's card yesterday. It brings back some fun memories from the Lake Superior trip. Thanks.

We also received the McBees postcard for this exchange. Thanks.
