Haven't received anything yet in Southern California (Temecula).

I exchanged emails with Kim on Thursday - they were hoping to email the information out on Friday. I think they were having a problem extracting the email addresses fromt heir proprietary database. But I'll check on Monday.

John

Nothing here in my little corner of Massachusetts. I hope they get them out soon. The disaster at the WTC in New York will have a definite effect on things around the country for some time to come.

BOB

How about just getting them mailed out. My concern is receiving the package before October 1st. It takes 5 days for mail to get from El Cajon to Myrtle Beach. That leaves them just a week to get it here.

And also because of the new changes with FAA rules regular mail will no longer be carried in comerical passenger aircraft, all though the USPS said they will be using Fed Ex to fly mail, but I think a delay should be expected in long distance mail.

No news here in Groton, CT on the itinerary or any package from Harbour Lights for the reunion.

Ron
(CT Keeper)

Nothing here in Smogville, USA. Is there
really a package or is that just a myth?

Keepin' the Flame, Rich

The good news is that I heard today that starting tomorrow, the mail can go back on commercial airlines, at least the ones that are flying now.
Jim
Johnson

And if we're not going to be here to get our mail?

We haven't received any news here in Cape Coral, FL about the reunion from Harbour Lights. Hope it gets here soon

Thanks for the information John.

The days are getting closer and the excitement is building here in Michigan. Even during this nation's tragedy we are looking forward to this event.

BALTIMORE HERE WE COME!!!!!!!

For those of us who can't make it, can someone post photos of the Reunion version of Hooper Strait and the thumbnails, etc. they give away?

OK Captain John, Shall the Connected Collectors join the Blue crew or the Red Brigade? It seemed to work well in Providence when we all tried to sail together.
Jim
Johnson

You call it Jim... es maches nicht to me.

Let's go blue. Red Brigade just doesn't sound right.

Dave

I'd have to vote for the red brigade as that is the group the HL folks said they would steer children to. It will also be the smaller of the two boats, so it should be more intimate and easier to find each other.

The prepackage has arrived in Smogville!!
There are 4 Harbour Lights luggage tags in
the envelope. They should be easy to recognize at the airport baggage carousel.

Look for the envelope--it's coming!!!!!

Keepin' the Flame and here's hoping that
United doesn't cancel our flight!!!

Rich

Hi,
We are getting worried because our package hasn't arrived yet! We are leaving this Friday for the reunion. Is anyone still waiting for their package?

Yippee....arrived in M I C H I G A N
today!

Am I the only one who hasn't received the package yet? Guess it's no big deal but I'm just beginning to wonder. When I called the hotel a while back they had a reservation for me so that's nice to know!

Sue,

Nothing here yet either....

Gee, are you guys sure you really did register for the reunion?


[This message has been edited by Dave H (edited 09-26-2001).]

Nothing in South Florida yet either!

Jack Wilson

Jack,

It's official now - that was your 50th post. Now you are a certified Wacko. Congratulations!

Dave

got mine Tuesday!

Still not yet. Anybody else still needing their's?

Nothing here in Denver yet. If it isn't here today, we won't get it before the reunion. Our change of address kicks in tomorrow and mail won't show up at the new house until 10/8.

Randall Ronne

Nothing here down the road from you Sue. Maybe the NY mail from the west coast is messed up down in the big city.
Jim
Johnson

No, and I'm really starting to get worried!



------------------

Got ours Tues.

We got ours here on the western side of the state. You should get yours soon Jim.

Our package hasn't come yet! I guess we can always use the luggage tags from the '98 reunion. :

Haven't received my packet...but I'm going on faith and a little help from my Wacko friends......
Derith

Mine finally arrived on Monday of this week! Hope everyone else gets theirs soon. Not much time left now!!!

I haven't received my package yet in Ohio, but I was one of the lucky ones who just got in when someone cancelled. Maybe I should call to check.

Closing this thread at 50 posts. To be continued in Reunion Packages part 2.
