Hi Folks, I am new to the list, and about to post a subject which is off topic - sincere apologies beforehand. I have been collecting stamps. No great stash to speak of. Just a collection to say "Hey ... I have a stamp from there!" Well I was wondering if there were any kind folks who might be willing to exchange with me one brief letter/postcard from their beautiful homeland in order to A) exchange the postage, and B) get back to the wonderful art of handwritten communication. Who knows what the outcome could be? Perhaps wind up being penpals. OK ... I'll slow down, and try not to have such high expectations. If this sounds like a small good deed to you, and you'd even consider my offer ... please email me off the list for specifics. I again apologize for my off-topic post. Good evening and Happy Holidays to you all. Marianne Cook Mississauga, Ontario, Canada http://www.geocities.com/heartland/orchard/1804
